The organic texture is created by wrapping a small piece of silver in wrinkled tissue paper and passing it through metal rollers, pressing the delicate surface of the tissue into the metal. I was interested in how certain textures can hold emotional charge despite their ordinariness, carrying traces of pressure, handling, and time.
Current focuses on the idea of movement beneath stillness, emotional undercurrents that exist quietly below the surface. The texture sits under the stone. Aquamarine felt connected to water and depth, something calming yet constantly shifting. For me, silver also has a connection to water and the sea in particular.
The pendant is formed in silver and finished with a substantial bail, contrasting the fragility of the surface impression. Small in scale and designed to sit closely against the body, the piece feels intimate, held, and quietly reflective.

Jewellery care is vital to ensure your piece lasts a lifetime. Most metal develops a natural surface patina over time, which will develop differently dependent on use and environment. Jewellery should be stored in a clean, dry environment while not being worn, preferably in the jewellery box it was presented in and away from other objects that may cause scratching.
The tarnishing process can be mediated by completely removing jewellery when applying creams, lotions, perfumes and keeping pieces away from moisture. Minimising contact between your metals and household chemicals will keep the piece looking fresher for longer. A gentle polishing cloth is recommended to buff your pieces from time to time.
