This was one of my original curious designs. I was completely inspired by the botanical/marine illustrations in my hardcover edition of "A Cabinet of Natural Curiosities". Aristotle's lantern is the actual descriptive name of the mouth of a sea urchin. I interpreted the forms into this large pendant.

Size: 8cm high x 5cm wide x 2cm deep

An important part of my design process is to utilize the structural elements of jewellery (how something is constructed, built, assembled) with its aesthetic qualities.

In this piece I have connected the enamelled components to the copper ones entirely with tabs and tension. I play with form and volume, what is concave and convex, hidden and showing. The back of the piece is equally as important as the front, as it too reveals something special.

This dual purpose brooch can be worn as a necklace. It comes with ~30 cm long sterling silver chain with clasps on both ends, so you can wear it it many ways. Hanging long, pocket-watch style with chains hanging, without any chains at all, around the neck and pinned to your jacket. It is very versatile, fun to wear yet sophisticated.

Yours will be custom made and unique. Please let me know what colours interest you and I will find something beautiful to suit what you have in mind.
