a piece of my heart...
Both the love heart and jigsaw piece are fabulous symbols which have so many potential meanings for both the 'wearer' and those who come in contact with them.
I have hand carved the heart and star pieces from an old English sterling silver shilling coin and the jigsaw is hand pierced from an old brass/bronze 'thrupney-bit' (3d) coin. The two colours balance and contrast with each other beautifully. Small, cute, gorgeous and recycled.
Each set I make is completely unique, original and totally green. The silver shillings coins I use have become uncollectable due to wear and use over 100
years of trade. Important details to a collector are missing, rendering
the coin 'scrap'. This allows the opportunity to create new, contemporary
offerings, without consuming newly processed silver. The mining and processing
of precious metals is extremely destructive to the environment. An unseen
and little talked about unethical industry. If you would like a small inscription on the reverse of the pendant please feel free to leave some details, e.g date, initials, 'with love', etc.
If you would like a small inscription on the reverse of the pendant please feel free to leave some details, e.g date, initials, 'with love', etc. Similarly ypu are welcome to request the recycled and silver hallmark to be on the reverse.
