This one-off charm necklace features a raw brass cast Heart-in-Hand amulet which I carved from wax & cast into raw golden brass. I have adorned this hand with a reclaimed baroque pearl! The necklace also features 18 reclaimed & recycled gemstone charms from faraway lands & seas.
Details:
Necklace Length: 16 inches - clip it securely onto the link to wear it at a shorter setting.
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.
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.
