Inspiration and Process
Getting geeky about geology was the inspiration for this piece, looking at coastlines, fault lines and river beds on maps as well as different types of rock intruding into each other. I wanted to created contrast and balance between the hard, shiny metal and matt intensity of the marble.
The process for each piece starts with a drawing that is applied to the brass sheet and cut out by hand. I construct the elements in my studio and fill with marble jesmonite which is mixed and coloured for each piece. Once the jesmonite is sanded back, it reveals the pattern of intricate metal curves.
Details
The circle measures 12mm in diameter and is hung from an 18” sterling silver fine curb chain. The marble jesmonite section is either midnight blue or sea green. The current pieces in stock are the ones shown, there is one of each.
Made from recycled brass, this pendant has great sustainable credentials as the metal is part of an established process of circular reuse. The chain is made from recycled sterling silver, in the UK. Jesmonite is an eco-friendly (non-toxic and VOC free) resin mixed with a natural mineral aggregate designed to look like marble.
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.
To keep your brass piece in perfect condition, store it in the box or pouch when it’s not being worn and polish from time to time with the polish pad. To keep it brighter for longer before your first polish, the brass is coated in a micro-crystalline wax when it arrives. The jesmonite section is sealed to make it easier to clean, give it a light scrub with a soft toothbrush in warm water and washing up liquid.

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.
