Inspired by the layers of carefully placed grass stems, twigs and other organic debris in the cocoon cases of the caddis insect. The burnished edges shimmer beautifully reminding me also of antique beadwork sewn by hand, now fraying and shifting from decades of wear. Made in solid bronze, substantial without being heavy it makes a perfect everyday necklace. The warm tones of this bronze pendant are complimented by an 18inch long 14ct gold fill chain and bolt ring clasp. Gold fill is a hard wearing alternative to gold plate or vermeil, using a much thicker, solid gold layer bonded onto a base metal. Available made to order in a custom length just get in touch - info@jademellor.com.
