necklace Design

Drawing inspiration from the Art Deco movement's affinity for symmetry and geometric designs, this Tutti Frutti halo pendant necklace features flamboyant central gems reminiscent of classic Cocktail Jewellery. Suspended on an 18-inch trace chain with an adjuster link at 16 inches, it offers versatility in length. Whether worn solo, layered with other necklaces, or paired with pieces from the Tutti Frutti collection, it exudes timeless elegance.

Metalwork

The pendant’s halo, basket and bail were created by forming and shaping metal bullion using traditional mounting methods. These ‘master’ components are then used to create moulds from which wax versions are made, and these waxes are cast into 9ct or 18ct recycled gold using the ‘lost wax’ casting method. The component castings are filed, emeried and smoothed before being soldered together using gold solder and a blowtorch. The bail is threaded with gold chain and the jump rings and catch are laser welded for strength and durability.

Gems

The gems are responsibly sourced by a trusted dealer based in Hatton Garden, London who we work closely with to ensure the highest quality and most vibrantly coloured stones. The central 8.5mm brilliant cut peridot is claw set and finished with talons and ringed by twenty four 1mm orange sapphires individually set into the halo using the thread and grain technique.

Finishing touches

The completed necklace is sent to the Edinburgh Assay Office for Hallmarking before returning home to Shetland for a final polish.

The necklace is presented in a high quality satin textured and chamois lined pendant box.
