Dragonfly in the Grasses

This large, statement silver pendant has been hand-made by me over a number of weeks in my tiny workshop and is a truly unique creation as I wanted to experiment with a variety of techniqiues to create a heavier piece than usual.  It has been hallmarked at The London Assay Office.  

The rectangular base piece features a double sided texture made from a mould I created using grasses and seed heads from the meadow below where I live, so truly unique.You won't ever see anyone wearing a pendant like this! The pretty dragonfly sits on top, with it's sparkling ruby coloured gemstone. I knwo for many dragonflies have special significance so maybe this could be a piece to treasure and remind the wearer of a loved one or of summer days in the sun.  I love it when you see the bright colour of a dragonfly hovering briefly before they dart through the air.

The surface is so shiny it makes it hard to get a photo without other colours reflecting back in the piece! The pendant is pure silver, the only colour is in the red of the stone.

Caring for your silver jewellery

Your silver jewellery should last a lifetime if cared for properly.  

You can ensure this by following these top tips:

• Avoid contact with any liquids or gels, cleaning solutions, moisturisers, perfumes and chemicals.  
• Remove your jewellery when cleaning or going to places like swimming pools & jacuzzis!
• Store your jewellery in an air tight container when it is not being worn as this will reduce any humidity & its contact with the air
• Your jewellery should be the last thing you put on when getting ready!

However, if your silver does become tarnished then you can polish it with a silver cleaning cloth.  This has been impregnated with silver polish to remove the tarnish and restore the sparkle.  You can buy one here.

It is the additional metals in sterling silver (925), usually copper, that causes the silver to tarnish.  Since your piece is made from fine silver (999) it has a higher silver content, therefore in theory it should tarnish less!
