This Sterling silver Magpies locket is one of my labours of love. Every part is handmade and etched with a intricate weave of pattern reminicient of Celtic knotwork on front, rear and interior. Sheet silver is hand cut using a jewellers piercing saw and formed in my home studio based in West Yorkshire. The hinge and clasp is hand cut and soldered using an oxygen and propane torch. When all the forming and soldering is done, the piece is oxidised and polished to reveal the stunning detail created by the etch. The clasp swirls gracefully at one side and is held in place with a three chain safety chain. This unusual, triangular locket is a true statement piece and stunning heirloom to pass down your family line (if you decide they deserve it!). Be prepared to catch many an admirer's breath every time you wear it.
locket diameter: approx 5cm
Chain length is a standard 18" but longer or shorter lengths can be specified upon purchase.
