The Pylon Collection:

As a child, Charlotte was fascinated by the patterns made against the sky by electricity pylons - a way to entertain herself on long car journeys across the countryside. The pylon collection imagines the changing sky looking up through those patterns, reimagined into jewels you can wear.

The Grey Pylon Pendant:

It is ready to ship and has a complete Birmingham hallmark.

3 shades of grey transparent enamel over a hand-engraved surface.

The diameter of the pendant is 18mm across.

Sterling silver 18 inch long snake chain.

The Process:

Many processes are gone through to craft this pendant. The design is drawn on computer and then etched into the silver. Charlotte then hand-engraves a texture into each recess which will catch the light and add interest through the enamel once fired. Enamel glass is ground up very fine with a pestle and mortar and applied in a fine layer to each recess using very delicate paintbrushes and/or feathers. The piece is then fired in the kiln at up to 1000 degrees centigrade and the enamel process is repeated until each recess is filled. After that the piece is stoned back by rubbing with carborundum stones and running water until level. This is then fired once more in the kiln to restore the shine to the enamel. Finally the piece has the findings soldered on and is polished to a beautiful finish, ready for you to wear.
