Lapis Arrow
|
I couldn't resist buying this vibrant piece of lapis lazuli, but what to do with it? Then I saw some of Brett Payne's stunningly graceful candlesticks and the inspiration was sown.
This is on a much smaller scale than his work but probably hammered out in much the same way. The main body of this piece started as a 5mm square rod of silver. The pendant is 8cm long, and the stone just over 2cm. The snake chain is 56cm (22") long and passes through a hole in the thickest part of the pendant (so it can't be removed). You can see the hallmarks on the front at the top. |
