Flora Sterling silver with copper plates - the copper plates are highly polished to a mirror finish  I then use a technique "reticulation" which involves heating the silver taking it to melting point. While the silver is in semi liquid form I use a pic to form design and texture in the silver before it solidifies and fuses with the copper. This process may be repeated a number of times before the desired texture or design is achieved. I then use many different polishing techniques to achieve the final finish on the piece. This process allows for amazing textures and designs making every jewellery piece unique. This pendant inspired by flora - Flora is all plant life found on our amazing planet giving life to all humans & animals alike. Certain flora have become a symbol of nations and none more so than the shamrock. The shamrock is recognised as the symbol of Ireland, St Patrick used the shamrock to explain the holy trinity today the shamrock also symbolises life, love & happiness and the spirit of the Irish people.  Dimensions: 26mm x 25mm Sterling silver chain: 45cm Gallery - Inspired by the rugged beauty of the unique Irish landscape & coastline.
