An Alexandrian Dilemma -- Sterling Silver and Pearl Slide on Neckwire
$97
USD (price
includes worldwide shipping)
The
Piece:
Alexander the Great solved his Gordian problem with the edge of a sword... this
precious little puzzle would have proven more difficult for him to unravel with
brute strength alone!
Hand-sculpted sterling silver knotwork, textured like silken rope and oxidized
to bring out its three-dimensionality, balances below a similarly textured
sterling silver neckwire. A large, luminous, peg-set cultured pearl completes
the sophisticated look.
Flexible neckwire is commercially bought, and closes with a secure friction
clasp.
The Process:
I started with PMC (precious metal clay), an expensive putty-like material that
is essentially pure silver particles suspended in an organic binder. I carefully
wound and knotted the clay, and then fired it in a kiln to burn off the binder
and fuse the fine silver. This became my master model!
I sent the master model off to a casting company to have a mold made, and then
had the knot cast in sterling silver. After cleaning the casting, I gradually
hammered up the top loop so the slide would hang properly, textured the entire
piece with a hammer handpiece, fabricated my peg setting and set the pearl.
The Particulars:
Neckwire: sterling silver (purchased), approximately 16"
Slide: sterling silver (cast and fabricated), cultured pearl. Slide is
approximately 30mm (1 1/4") tall.
A note on PATINATION/BLACKENING: The process of oxidization that I use
will wear off, gently, as the piece is worn. This is characteristic of silver
and I prefer to leave the blackening this way, as I believe it enriches the
pieces to have it reflect its wearer's habits.
A note on PEARLS: All of the pearls I use in my work, unless otherwise
clarified, are cultured pearls. "Pure" pearls that are wholly formed in nature
are incredibly rare and their price reflects that -- cultured pearls are the
same process guided by human hands and the pearls are much more affordable. None
of my pearls are knowingly below a B grade, though some may exhibit surface
imperfections or baroque irregularities... please view pictures with some
scrutiny if this is important to you.
A note on COLOURS: Colours within my photographs may vary due to
different lighting, angles and backgrounds. Colours may also vary depending on
your monitor settings. If specific shade is of utmost importance to you, please
contact me for further photographs and/or descriptions.
