- ‘Deco’ Collection – Artist’s Impression
This collection is still very much a work in progress. I felt these pieces had an ‘Art Deco’ feel to them, hence the collection’s title. They are hand crafted out of sterling silver sheet; there’s a lot of piercing (sawing) and filing to be done to achieve a professional finish here, so the pieces are rather time consuming to work on, but all the more satisfying for that.
I am attempting two finishes on the surface of the silver with these – as there is a three-dimensional effect created by cutting grooves into the sheet, one side will be polished to a mirror finish, the other given a matt satin texture to help emphasise the perception of depth created by the design.

I anticipate making a couple of different sizes and weights in the pendant ~ one to complement the necessarily lighter and smaller feel of the earrings, the other a larger and more substantial piece; it’ll make something of a statement all by itself, though could still be paired with the earrings quite successfully.
Progress is slow but steady and I am hoping to have these ready in a week or so. An update will appear here when they’re completed.
