Pink circle, silver circle neckpiece SOLD!!

$550.00

My favourite thing to make is chain. I’ve replicated the fusion joins in the 1920s glass by softening the solder joins in the sterling silver. Intentionally not making the solder joins invisible in the metal; rather leaving them softened to mimic the fusion joins in the glass. This piece is somewhat adjustable in length as you can use the handmade clasp to close the necklace at any length that is comfortable.

Length: 71cm end to end

Materials: handmade sterling silver chain links and clasp, 1920s Czechoslovakian glass.

Artist Bio

Jacqueline Betsy Lord’s work is created in her studio amongst the Otway forest. A lover of jewellery from an early age, Jacqueline’s work is created using traditional metal working techniques incorporating found vintage glass pieces and other objects. Jacqueline is passionate about recycling, repurposing and minimising waste in her work. She uses glass made for the costume jewellery and lighting industries over the past century as it is found. Jacqueline does not rework the glass at all; rather working with it in the form it is found by embracing the beauty in any perceived imperfections of pieces that have lived a whole other life before arriving in her Otway forest based studio.
