The pendant is made from sterling silver. I cut the shapes out by hand with a jeweller's saw and carefully soldered the pieces together so the petals were sitting correctly in-between each other. I was in two minds whether to add a stalk and a leaf.
The chain was a conundrum. I started out with various ideas like a French rope but after making what seemed like hundreds of jump rings, I decided to do something completely different and designed this as I went along. I wanted something that would complement the pendant and help it to sit correctly on the neck. Its made from sterling silver as well as the findings I made. I was in two minds about the curly bit but felt it added interest without deferring the eye from the pendant.

That's lovely Jill, I love the sunflower design and I think the twisted wire and beads add interest to the chain.
ReplyDeleteI used the zentangle stamps you sent and I love them! The patterns are great. I've done a couple of posts about it if you want a look :D
