Sweet Pea Pod Necklace
The Sweet Pea Pod Necklace is deeply textured and full of meaning. Blackened with a burnish polished finish which highlights the texture. I have hand forged it from one piece of silver, and as a result, it is a twisting design like the guitar playing that inspired it. It was a pure chance it came out looking like a pea pod and I rather like it so named it for what it looks like. It hangs from a matching rope chain with an easy to do up S-clasp. I never make the same thing twice; consequently, the Sweet Pea Pod Necklace is a one-off piece.
Inspired by Music and Synaesthesia
I am synaesthetic, which is a neurological trait where the senses cross. Therefore I have a strong visual impression of shape, colour, movement and sometimes texture when I hear music. Despite its name, the Sweet Pea Pod Necklace is inspired by what I see when I listen to music. As a result, the shapes in this silver pendant are little snippets of electric guitar music made visible by my synaesthesia. Hence it twists and curls like music. If you want to know more about my synaesthesia and how I use it to make jewellery, read this: How Vivid Synaesthesia and Muse Live Briefly Disintegrated My Conscious Mind.
Recycled Silver
I recycle the silver from old and broken silverware and cutlery to make my jewellery. Consequently, I can eliminate the need for newly mined silver in my work. I melted a piece of old silverware down. Then I hand forged the resulting ingot of molten silver into the carefully crafted necklace.
