Sterling Silver Pendant
This striking sterling silver pendant beautifully demonstrates the organic results of casting with dry spaghetti. The piece has a wonderfully raw, textural quality – its surface marked with deep ridges, channels, and natural striations that tell the story of molten silver flowing around the rigid spaghetti strands before they burned away.
The form is elongated and irregular, with a smooth, polished loop at the top for hanging, contrasting beautifully with the rougher, more organic body below. You can clearly see the linear patterns left by the spaghetti – parallel grooves and ridges that create a sense of movement and flow down the length of the piece.
The surface catches the light in fascinating ways, with some areas highly reflective and smooth, while others retain a more matte, textured finish that reveals the casting marks and natural patterns created during the process. There's an almost sculptural, architectural quality to it – the vertical lines give it structure while the irregular edges keep it organic and wild.
This is jewellery that celebrates the beauty of experimentation and the unique marriage of everyday materials with precious metal in the casting process – truly one-of-a-kind wearable art.
