Contemporary Filigree Pendant

This piece was manufactured as a stand-alone project during my Advanced Diploma studies in 2023. The brief asked for a creative approach to the traditional filigree technique used in a variety of historical pieces in which wire shapes are bent and arranged as ornaments either on a closed back or an open back and soldered or fused in place. Inspired by the beautiful geometry of spirographs, I made a frame with equidistant spokes and wrapped fine silver wire around them to form a geometric structure reminiscent of a camera aperture. I then encapsulated the wire work in a solid sterling silver frame and paired it with a 55 cm sterling silver rolo chain to match the round shape of the pendant. The chain is included in this price.
