You Have My Heart
Recycled British Silver Coin Tree Pendant
Some things are offered quietly.
You Have My Heart is a pendant shaped from reclaimed British silver, transformed by hand into a living tree whose branches cradle a small, hidden heart. It is a piece about giving, belonging, and the quiet strength of connection — not declared, but understood.
This is a necklace that speaks softly and stays close.
The Silver
This pendant begins with recycled British silver, once part of a circulating coin too worn and storied to be melted down and forgotten.
Rather than erasing its past, the silver is worked directly — preserving its integrity, weight, and sense of continuity. The material carries forward what it has already known, reshaped into something intimate and enduring.
Nothing here is anonymous.
The Design — Tree & Heart
At the centre of the pendant stands a flowing tree, its roots curling deep and its branches spreading wide.
Hidden among the leaves is a small heart, revealed only on closer looking — a quiet symbol of love held rather than displayed. The tree represents growth, shelter, and continuity; the heart, an offering made without condition.
Together they form a piece about love that is steady rather than showy — love that endures.
Made by Hand
The design is saw-pierced and engraved by hand, shaped at the bench with attention to line, balance, and flow.
Each leaf, curve, and root is refined individually, guided by eye rather than machine precision. Subtle variations remain — evidence of the maker’s hand and the individuality of the silver itself.
No two pieces are ever exactly the same.
Wear & Patina
As a piece made from reclaimed silver, You Have My Heart will develop patina over time.
The surface softens, shadows deepen, and the pendant takes on a warmth that reflects wear and touch. It settles naturally against the body, becoming increasingly personal with age.
This is silver that lives with you.
Meaning & Wearing
This pendant is often chosen as a gift of devotion — for a partner, a child, a family member, or as a quiet reminder carried for oneself.
Its meaning is not loud or fixed. It is held, returned to, and understood over time.
Carried Forward
You Have My Heart is jewellery that preserves silver, intention, and trust.
An offering made once,
and kept —
not new, but meant.

beautiful piece of artwork
Thank you so much Les for such a beautiful piece of artwork. You really capture the beauty spirit and life of trees and birds in your work. It is obvious that you have a great love of nature. The tiny attention to detail is lovely; I enjoy wearing it everyday and a lot of people have made lovely comments on it. The character of the little robin is really brought out in all the details; his eyelashes and feathers. The engraving on the tree trunk reflects the light beautifully also. Something new born from the old and discarded; somehow such a story of hope and inspiration. Thankyou for bringing light into the world with your beautiful art.
blessings, H 🙂
