Sold individually, these striking contemporary 'Keys To The Sea' sterling silver pendants are evocative of ocean waves, flowing water and perhaps even a dreamcatcher for a mermaid..!

Each one features a large central hammered ring with five dangling charms of graduated lengths, each of which has been individually and uniquely embellished with a series of small silver rings and spheres. They have been fully hallmarked by the London Assay Office.

The pendants have been formed using traditional metalsmithing techniques and include recycled offcuts and silver scraps which have been been melted down and re-shaped to create an unusual and standout contemporary piece of jewellery.

Each one hangs from a bail made up of three sterling silver rings, and is paired with a medium weight solid silver belcher or 'rolo' chain necklace that fastens with a trigger clasp. The chain can be fastened at either 20"/50cm or 22"/56cm (shown worn at the longer length in the photo.)

The main circular ring measures 2.2cm across in diameter, and the hanging charms vary in length to a maximum of 4.5cm for the largest central one.

Both the pendants and matching chains have been oxidised with a darkening patina to create a vintage and aged look, before being given a modern soft, satin, brushed finish.

These necklaces have a very organic, rustic feel, with a modern and almost grungy look which some say is reminiscent of seaweed or flowing water. They are also incredibly tactile with a gentle jangling sound which is perfect for those who like to play with their jewellery as they wear it!

Due to its weight each pendant has been fully hallmarked by The London Assay Office as 925 Sterling Silver and also includes my own unique sponsor's/makers mark 'KAT'. This serves as a guarantee of authenticity to prove that the metal is of the quality and finesse described.

Please be aware that these necklaces are sold individually, and whilst each has been made to the same pattern and design they are entirely made by hand and therefore will have subtle differences from each other. This is one of the benefits of artisan made jewellery - each piece will, by its very nature, be unique!
