Hammered satin chain I love making these chains which is surprising as they are so time consuming - but I think the result is worth it! Each link is made from 1.5mm silver wire and then soldered and hammered to create the textured non-uniform links. All links are then individually cut and soldered together with a matching clasp to finish the piece. The diameter of each link is approx. 1.3cm so quite a substantial chain and really eye-catching! I have finished this chain with a satin finish as I love the way the light reflects off the links. I can also make this chain with a high polished finish if you prefer. |

Heart pendant and earrings This pretty little pendant would make an ideal gift. Heart shapes have been cut from 0.5 mm silver sheet, hand domed and have been joined with a rivet in the centre to allow the smaller heart to move. The bail for the chain has been attached to the back of the pendant but hidden so that the heart hangs attractively. The pendant measures 1.8cm at it's widest. The pendant has been finished with a matt frosted finish, but I can make this with a high polish finish. 16 inch silver snake chain included. The matching earrings work just as well on their own! The hearts have been cut from silver sheet and domed to create a concave shape that reflects the light well. Stud posts have been soldered to the backs of the hearts off-centre so that the heart sits on the lobe at an angle. Each heart measures 1.2 cm at it's widest part. Would make the ideal gift for a bridesmaid or girlfriend perhaps? Pendant £35 Sold - but I can make this to order |
