This features a design inspired by Ammonites in fine gold cloisonné on engraved sterling silver. It is enamelled in shades of blue and turquoise. The necklace is comprised of blue opal Jasper and apatite beads which complement the enamel beautifully. The central silver piece measures 50 mm x 34 mm. The total length is 50cm. The length could be changed if required and I could lengthen or shorten it to order. It carries the hallmark for the London Assay Office and is marked as being silver and gold. This is a truly special necklace and an heirloom for the future. As always I am happy to ship outside the UK and please message me to do so for a postage quote. 

Over the years I have often been inspired by Ammonites which were a marine species that evolved throughout the Mesozoic era between 252 and 66 million years ago. Evidence of their existence comes to us through Fossils and the evolution of Ammonites can be traced by their appearance in rocks of different ages. Ammonites are a theme I have been exploring through different techniques in enamel for many years. During that time work has evolved as I explore new ways of working. The pandemic in 2020 allowed me to take time out to develop new techniques and ways of working and Evolution arose out of this strange and difficult time. They comprise cloisonné enamel on silver using fine gold or silver wire over engraved silver. The silver surrounds are engraved to echo patterns in the rocks that contain them.
