Simple and elegant, this silver pendant is cut through with a vein of ocean or midnight blue marble jesmonite. Each is made from a unique hand drawing, so no two are ever the same, just like the natural forms which inspired them. Wear this pendant everyday, layered over t-shirts or for a glimpse of something special with shirts or dresses.

Inspiration and Process
The starting point for these pieces was a growing interest in our local geology, coastlines, river beds and fault lines. Rocks I collected around Clevedon showed veins of minerals forcing their way through the rock into jagged channels. This collection reflects these conflicts through the contrast of shiny metal and intensely coloured marble jesmonite.
Each piece starts as a freehand drawing creating the curved channel afresh every time. This forms the pattern that I cut and assemble by hand in my studio from silver sheet. The river of colour is created by casting hand dyed marble jesmonite into the piece and sanding it back to reveal the pattern.
Details
The circle measures 12mm in diameter and is hung from an 18” sterling silver fine curb chain. The marble jesmonite section is dyed either ocean blue or deepest midnight blue as part of the casting process.
This necklace is made from recycled sterling silver, the jump rings and chain are also made from recycled silver in the UK. Jesmonite is an eco-friendly resin (non-toxic and VOC free) that’s mixed with natural minerals to create a marble stone effect.
Packaging and Care
Everything from Promises Promises comes hand-wrapped in bespoke packaging, perfect for giving (especially to yourself!). Each piece is wrapped in my own design tissue paper inside a branded box. A storage pouch for safekeeping and a care pack with polish pad will keep your piece looking like new.
Sterling silver is best stored in the box or pouch it came in and polished using the pad provided when needed. Jesmonite can be cleaned using a soft toothbrush and warm water with washing up liquid. The Jesmonite has been sealed for easier cleaning and more durability.

About Me
I set up Promises Promises in 2014 as a brand for the jewellery I was creating while working in London in the fashion industry. Since then I’ve been a jeweller full-time, creating innovative eco-friendly jewellery from precious metals and jesmonite, collaborating with Laphroaig, the Science Museum and the British Library and selling in shops across the world. In 2020 I moved back West, gaining new inspiration from the landscape around me. Now I create small collections of hand-made jewellery, based on the things I love and crafted in my Bristol home studio.
