This is called a petal cross because the design evolved from a mistake!

in the early days of exploring silver clay, I was really keen to make a silver daisy, my favourite flower. In the process, I broke some petals, so the piece was banished to my pot of scraps!

Time passed until I had an ‘I wonder if…’ moment, so I took the broken pieces to see if my idea would work. Turns out that I liked the result quite a lot! Probably more than the original design idea.

So the petal cross was born!

Something new from something broken.

It could have remained broken or crushed to dust but the potential for beauty would have remained just that: potential. Hidden from view.

Broken fragments became transformed, renewed and rebirthed.

It looks different than its original design. But to me it is more significant and special because of this story.

Handmade fine silver cross bezel set with either clear or yellow cubic zirconia (cz) stone. Measures 25mm x 20mm and hangs from an 18" sterling silver curb chain.

I use packaging which can be reused or recycled, so this handmade piece of silver jewellery will arrive in a gift box made from recycled card. It will be posted in cardboard packaging which can also be recycled.

For reassurance, I send silver jewellery using Royal Mail Special Delivery to a UK postal address.
