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.

Tara Lois Jewellery
Since Tara Lois created her first jewelry in 2013, she has won many international awards for her designs, craftmanship and sustainable practices, appeared in magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair, as well as exhibiting at major events like Milan Jewellery Week.
But the most precious accolade is the number of returning clients, some of whom are also jewelry collectors. Her talent is extraordinary, as she sculpts creations which are a fusion of contemporary design with ancestral techniques, capturing the essence of an emotion, memory or narrating a story in precious materials.
Her influences are multi-national, with her studio on a small Maltese island, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, and having studied in the UK as well as growing up in France. She understands elegance and luxury.
Tara’s visual style may vary but it is always underpinned by strong sweeping curves accented with delicate gemstones, fragile glass, vitreous enamel or filigree. Some of her designs have been called “elven-like” featuring Maltese filigree, which is the ancient technique of patiently and painstakingly curving and twisting impossibly thin hand drawn wire into delicate designs.
One of Tara’s promises, unless explicitly stated, is that she never recreates a piece of jewellery. Each jewel is unique, even if it forms part of a limited collection. Tara guarantees you will never see two designs which are identical.
