Alana had me create this seaglass and sterling silver pendant for a friend of hers a little while ago, and she asked me if I would be able to create her a pendant using a piece of seaglass that she had found.

It’s a lovely heartshaped piece, beautifully soft from its time in the ocean!

Chrysocolla

According to Wikipedia, Chrysocolla is a hydrated copper cyclosilicate mineral with the formula (Cu,Al)2H2Si2O5(OH)4·nH2O. Hehehe, such a convoluted scientific string! I guess that just means it’s a compound, which is apparent from the many wonderful blue/green colourways that can be seen in various pieces.

Chrysocolla is a minor ore of copper, and like malachite, has a high copper content, which is what gives it that fabulous blue/green colouring.

The name Chrysocolla derives from the Greek chrysos (gold) and kolla (glue), referring to its use as a flux in soldering gold. The term has been used since antiquity.

My best friend Morgan’s sister has a birthday today (happy birthday, Dyl!) and Morgan wanted me to create the perfect piece for her. We had lots of ideas, and in the end this square domed ring was the fav.

I think Dylan may have suggested the domed square – at first I didn’t think it could be done. After I gave it more thought, I realised of course it could!

I love this ring, I think it’s really effective and stunning. It may inspire a new collection!

When I came across this beautiful piece of chrysocolla, I just knew I had to have it! My mum has a gorgeous close-up print of the bark of a gum tree hanging in her house, and this reminded me very much of that.

After some deliberation, and some collaboration, I created this pendant for her.
