Full description

THIS BEAUTIFUL CONTEMPORARY NECKLACE WILL COMPLIMENT ANY DRESS STYLE BUT WOULD BE A STUNNING PIECE TO WEAR ON COUNTRY WEEKEND.

CAN ALSO BE MADE IN TO A BROOCH OR PIN.PM FOR INFO

Each of my hand crafted Porcelain piece has to go through a myriad of procedures until is is ready to sell.All my work is designed and made from start to finish by myself in my own workshops .

After the initial delicate making of each porcelain piece it has to dry out for a few days.

Once completely bone dry each piece has its first kiln firing, which lasts for around 7 hrs, after which they are left to cool for a day before they get completely hand shaped, sanded and hand painted.

The second firing can then take place, which takes about 9 hrs this time at a much higher temperature . After the second firing the pieces have to cool before attach the sterling silver fittings and silver chains, some hand forged by myself. In some cases i do a third firing after applying a clear glaze.

Any pieces that have a platinum or gold luster have to have the coating applied delicately by hand then go on to have a fourth firing ,every piece is slightly different and bespoke.

My MODERN HEIRLOOMS RANGE offers you the chance to immortalize a loved ones own handwriting in Porcelain in the form of a pendant necklace (a contemporary version of the locket) or a silver and porcelain brooch, please see pictures of other commissions as an example. I will consider any type of commission just private message me .
