When making Silver fold pendants, each piece is individually developed using fold forming forging and mark making techniques (repousse). I explore with line folds on each pendant to produce a unique piece of jewellery. Gold details are introduced and added to give another dimension of colour and texture. Then, pieces are oxidized to enhance definition and either polished or treated to achieve the final finished design.
Earrings and pendants in silver may be imprinted with leaves or other plant natural forms.
The use of anodized aluminium for jewellery making is now a popular alternative to silver due to its relative cheapness and also the ease with which attractive clolours can be added. Suitable materials are available for purchase in my classes and the workshop is fully equipped to facilitate this option.
