Thank you for visiting my shop. I do hope you will enjoy my unique designs. Thank you for choosing hand made x
I wanted to create something truly unique withe the opals in my collection of gems.
Working with delft clay enables me to cast perfect copies of objects and my love of interesting natural forms led me to the conclusion that this star anise just had to be made into something beaustiful!
It works perfectly as a foil to the wonderful Australian opal. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Full description
Sterling Silver and Opal necklace, created in my home studio, in my garden in Hampshire.
The necklace features hand cut Ethiopian opal beads, interspaced with sterling silver beads for contrast. The beads shine blue and green in the light.
The pendant has been hand cast using a star anise seed pod.
I just love the floral form of this spice. Each pod is unique and gives an almost sun-burst design element to the necklace.
The seed pod has been cast usuing the delft clay method, where a mould is made of the original seed pod in the delft clay and moulten sterling silver is poured into it. The finished piece had preserved the gorgous details of the original seed pod. It forms the focal point of my design.
This star anise showcases the gorgeous natural Australian opal which I have set to highlight the colours in the Ethiopean opal beads.
The oval opal shines blue and green with shimmers of orange, yellow and purple fire.
There is a sterling silver lobster claw clasp and the necklace has been traditionally hand knotted for strength and duribility.
It measures 18 inches or 47 cm approximately in length, excluding the focal pendant, which drops a further 2 cm or 3/4 of and inch approximately
The necklace has been fully hallmarked at the London Assay Office and features my unique makers mark.
The necklace will come packaged, ready to be presented as a gift.
Designed by Jacqueline Austen in Hampshire
