Inspired by Shakespeare's Ophelia, these are flowing, twisting, elegant drops, a tight ripple cascading from the wider furled head, dark and light shifting through the shape. Lightly scuffed then wrapped into an undulating spiral and narrowed to a point. Heavily oxidised then rubbed back in stages, with the ripple polished hard to bring light. All brought to a medium shine. 25mm long (35mm including the wire) x 5mm wide (narrowing to 2mm) and 1.5mm thick.
Hallmarked consisting of Maker's mark, Traditional Fineness mark, Millesimal Fineness mark, Assay Office mark and Date Letter mark.

Try to avoid wearing your jewellery when swimming, playing sport, gardening, doing DIY or in contact with chemicals, such as household cleaning agents, etc. If you are storing your jewellery for any length of time, wrap it in tissue/cloth and seal in an airtight bag to prevent oxidation. When cleaning jewellery, never use commercial chemical jewellery-cleaners, which invariably weaken the metal and can cause damage. Simply wash in mild soapy water, rinse and wipe clean. Then lightly polish with a soft cloth (a glasses-lense cloth is ideal).
