SOLD
Materials: Hand Carved Whale Tooth Ivory, 18ct Yellow Gold, Sterling Silver, Amethyst
Belle Petite - This is the necklace version of the Belle - Brooch (which I made previously)
This necklace is a smaller version of the brooch design, each one slightly different.
This is a little sweetie and seems to have an uplifting spirit in it's form. I have hand carved this piece from a repurposed piece of antique whale ivory which has two tones of colour being the enamel and the dentine.
The middle of the flower is lit up by a luminous amethyst cabochon set into 18ct Yellow Gold. There is a full backing plate of Sterling Silver which has been inscribed with the name of this piece, Belle Petite.
This Necklace also has a special feature of 18ct Yellow Gold set into the crevice of an area of the material which displayed a natural flaw. Inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold, Kintsugi – ‘the beauty of imperfections’, I have chosen to highlight this flaw by filling it with gold.
This Necklace is one of a kind
