Hawaiian flowers from silver shillins...
This gorgeous little pendant has been recycled from an old English
silver shilling. It is pure silver, perfect for transformation and to
be recycled into a lovely wearable piece of original jewellery.
Firstly
I sketch the outline of the flower. Then I carefully and delicately
follow the sketch with a jewellers piercing saw, cutting away the bits
of coin surplus to the finished design. I drill several miniature holes
and carve away the inside sections to give intricate detail and depth.
I then simply file, smooth and polish the flower, revealing a great
finished flower pendant.
The fantastic part of this pendant is that
details of the original silver shillin are evident, giving a lovely
history and story to it. Additionally, I leave the separate cut-away
part of the coin with the pendant. These two elements slip together
beautifully revealing the full identity of the pendant. Green in every
way! Obviously, each one totally different, completely unique and very
special.
