crystal drops on silver loops necklace — Simone Walsh jewelry + objects

First to recommend

Description

I love these beautiful clear quartz crystal briolettes as they provide just enough sparkle to catch the eye while still being elegant and subtle.

Three of the briolettes have each been suspended on sterling silver loops, which have been soldered closed, hammer beaten to provide a more organic texture and then oxidized to a rich black.

The three loops have been suspended on a delicate and simple sterling silver chain which is finished with handmade sterling silver findings.

Made by me!

etched leaves pendant on silk

First to recommend

Description

This lovely small and subtle pendant has been created by etching a dense pattern of leaves into a piece of sterling silver, before sawing out this simple teardrop shape and doming it slightly at the larger end to give it an organic shape.

The etched areas have been given a soft and muted white silver oxide finish by way of repeated heating. The raised areas have then been gently sanded back, leaving an eye-catching, shiny silver finish.

The pendant has a really nice light weight to it and is suspended on a soft green length of natural silk thread which features handmade sterling silver findings.

japanese etch cuff - sterling silver

First to recommend

Description

A beautiful and dense Japanese chrysanthemum pattern has been etched onto sterling silver. The etched areas have been blackened to highlight the pattern, while the exposed areas of silver have been given a brushed, ‘scratchy’ finish.

The strip of silver has been formed into a cuff. The metal is springy, but not so hard that you couldn’t gently make minor adjustments to the shape to suit yourself.

Made by me!
