Large Celtic torc made from hexbar with fabricated acorns in stainless steel.

the main structure of this necklace is patinated copper stems linked together so to remain flexable, much the same way as real daisy chains are formed. the pollen area is hammered and repousse brass. the petals are balloon rubber cut to shape.

The pendant was created by chasing and repousse and has a liver of sulphur patina.
This is from a series of work I did for a show earlier this month with the theme of Texture.

Jewellery (also spelled jewelry, see spelling differences) is a personal ornament, such as a necklace, ring, or bracelet, made from jewels, precious metals or other substance.

The word jewellery is derived from the word jewel, which was anglicised from the Old French "jouel" in around the 13th century.[citation needed] Further tracing leads back to the Latin word "jocale", meaning plaything. Jewellery is one of the oldest forms of body adornment; recently found 100,000 year-old Nassarius shells that were made into beads are thought to be the oldest known jewellery.[1]
