HOW:

sterling silver pendant with a custom designed embossed image 

sizes vary between 2 and 2,5cm long

On a 60cm sterling silver chain that can also be worn at 50cm 

WHY:

i am totally in love with this technique and invite you to request a custom design. just tell me "do something with a bee" or "door" and ill come up with a beautiful way to transform it into an embossed design. these are truely one of a kind, this is how it works: 

after finalising my drawings, i hand-cut my design into thick brass plate. the brass and sterling silver plates are glued together and passed through the rolling-mill at a rather tight setting, tried and tested for the best results. as the plates are forced together the silver presses into the cut away areas of the brass plate to result in the raised image, kind of like the positive and negative of a photograph. the brass plate is only good for a single use therefore each piece is totally unique. the silver plate is then cut into the shape that we choose

i love allowing for the distortions and surprises that are part of this process and to incorporate the contrasts in clean and dirty silver as shown here in the examples. please trust the process that will produce a delicate, precious and personal treasure that is as far away from mass-produced as you can get
