Peace, Love & Happiness. An unusual new piece of jewellery ready for Glastonbury 2011

This beautiful new love dove necklace is crafted from one sterling silver crown coin, English and circa 1880's.

 

The silver coin was flattened out in my usual manner. Once stretched out to the desired working shape i simply draw the design (a really rough outline guide!) on to the surface area. This rough sketch is then embellished with my piercing saw and a extremely fine blade. From here the pendant is filed, sanded, polished matte, and finished with a wee bronze star. A lovely old 1920's bronze coin is recycled to make the olive branch and star.

 

Handmade and recycled in Cambridge, England.
