Pendant only, chains sold separately. If you require a chain you can find the option for a 18"-24" long 2mm thick sterling silver belcher chain in the pendant category. Cast in recycled sterling silver and fully hallmarked from the Sheffield Assasy Office. The finish is oxidised to give depth and contrast.

Each cast is completely unique, no two are exactly the same, the photos show examples of ones I've done.

Measures approx 3.2cm tall including the bail and 2.2cm at the widest point. Bail has a 4mm opening for a chain. Weighs around 8g.

Inspired by the ancient harvest tradition where the corn spirit was kept within a doll over winter made from the last sheaf of the harvest. In spring the doll would be buried or burnt and the ashes scattered over the field before ploughing to continue the cycle and give a good harvest. This pendant is created from an original drawing of mine, each casting will be unique, this is the nature of my work and how it is made.
