One-off items are usually posted within 1-2 days of order.  Ie, I have them ready to go, barring a final re-polish, so would expect to despatch the day after I have received payment, or the following day at the latest.

Made-to-order items will generally be ready for posting within 7 days.  There will be prominent announcements if I'm away or backlogged.

Made-to-order items that have to be hallmarked (this will be indicated on the item's page) can take significantly longer.  Please allow 4 weeks for these. 

Whatever, I will always try to keep you updated.

Garnet tumblestone spoon pendant.

Pendant 2 - garnet tumblestone spoon

Like this lapis pendant, this piece was also inspired by Brett Payne's superb candlesticks.  It's the flowing curves I love which, this time, evolved into the idea of setting the stone in the bowl of a spoon.

The piece is forged from a single rod of silver with no soldering save for the pin that the stone sits on.

One apparently worldly-wise lady(?) suggested that it looks like a coke spoon, but you certainly wouldn't want to snort the stone:  it's ~18mm long and 15mm wide with 14 irregular facets.  Not many flaws either for a big piece of garnet.

The pendant is 9cm long, and the snake chain is 50cm (20").

This second view shows better the curve of the spoon and how the chain passes through  the thickest part just above the bowl (and why it can't be removed).

I fashioned the channel for the chain to be quite low down so that the handle of the spoon would rise up from it.  I must have got the balance point just right because the piece stays in position very nicely when worn.

The hallmarks are on the front.
