How this was made
This piece was made using silver clay, which is 99.9% solid silver of hallmark quality in the final product. There is a coating of 24 carat gold leaf on the tails and the beaks. Most of my pieces are inspired by nature. This pendant was created for an exhibition in Tokyo where it was displayed and I was lucky enough to visit it. I think it is suitable as a symbol of love at any time of the year but especially for engagements, weddings and valentine's.
What's included in the price?

I use silver clay, which is pliable, so it can be shaped into many designs that you can create yourself or I can help you with ideas. When you have moulded your design in clay, you fire your piece to burn off other substances in the clay to leave a residue of 99% pure silver. You then polish your piece to finish off the process to create an amazing piece of your own unique silver jewellery.
