Large Abstract Tapered Chased Silver Contour Pendant with Orange Glass

About the Item

This large contemporary abstract silver pendant has been chased by hand into an organic fluid form representing the contours of a hill in Gozo, Malta. A fragment of ombré orange Mdina Glass, with streaks of yellow, is set like a gemstone. International award-winning Tara Lois, designs and handcrafts sought after sculptural jewellery which has featured in fashion magazines including British Vogue and Vanity Fair and exhibited at Milan Jewellery Week. This design is part of Tara Lois’ “Malta Hills” Limited Collection of individually unique jewellery creations Inspired by the contours of Zebbug Hill the streaked orange glass symbolises the colour of the sky over the hill at sunset. The pendant shape represents the steep hill sides, gently tapering into the adjoining valley, created using repoussé, otherwise known as chasing, where silver sheet is hammered by hand into the chosen 3D shape. The pendant is suspended from a long medium thickness fine 26 inch / 66cm sterling / 925 silver chain. Glass aficionados will tell you that Mdina Glass, made in Malta, is as well respected as Italian Murano Glass. Tara Lois buys shards cut from the molten glassware as it is blown in the factory and reheats it in her studio kiln at over 800 degrees Celsius. This flattens it into a rounded workable horizontal form and removes the sharp edges so that it can be set in the silver like a gemstone.
