This Charm Necklace is cluttered with plenty of pearls & iridescence. Featuring a hand-sculpted Ex Voto Amulet & a clutter of 16 reclaimed & recycled gemstones from faraway lands & seas…
Details:
Necklace Length: 16 inches - clip it securely onto the link to wear it at a shorter setting - or leave me a note in the gift note section of the checkout if you’d prefer an 18 inch chain.
16 recycled gemstones: rose quartz, mother-of-pearl, freshwater pearl, quartz, garnet, cowrie shell, an antique Tasmanian mariners shell (the front isn’t showing but it’s beautiful!), vintage white coral, moonstone, jadeite & howlite.
I sculpted this medieval-inspired flaming heart amulet from jewellers wax & tiny metal tools heated atop a candle’s flame. It has been cast into raw brass using the ancient-rooted technique of lost-wax-casting.
The chain & all of the metal details are made from 14ct Filled Gold - a thick layer of gold is pressure bonded onto base metal. Filled gold is a more durable alternative to gold plate or vermeil.
This charm necklace design is repeatable as I have enough of these delicious gemstones to make a small handful of these.
Care:
If you've chosen a piece that has a mix of cast brass amulets on a gold filled or gold-rolled chain, you'll need to treat these elements differently when caring for your jewels. You'll recieve a small white polishing pad with your order to be used on the brass amulets. Please refrain from using this pad on the chain, its quite course and will affect the way your gold looks. The gold is pressure bonded onto the base metal surface, rather than just electroplated on the top. This gold bond is much thicker than plate, and the 14ct gold of this chain makes up 5% of the total piece.
Dispatch and delivery:
Please allow me up to 10 days to dispatch your jewel. Altered lengths may take closer to 2 weeks as I may need to order extra components.
