Kinetic Sunflower Locket with Brown Diamonds
In this striking and eye-catching opening sunflower pendant, 12 hand engraved 18ct gold petals sit snugly within beautifully sculpted silver ‘sepals’. As the locket stem is pushed up, the petals unfold to shine around the iconic dark centre, sprinkled with light catching brown diamonds. To complete the piece, a delicate sunflower leaf sits gently beside the locket, featuring a tiny sparkly white ‘dew drop’ diamond. The locket comes on a 21 inch sterling silver chain with handmade catch.
Sunflowers (Helianthus Annus) are known as a symbol of strength, long lasting happiness and an instinct to seek positivity. Grown as a crop for their oil and seeds, sunflowers are also associated with health and nourishment. A joyful representation of the sun itself, this locket t is the perfect flower jewellery gift to say, ‘you are my sunshine’ to someone very special.
The Designer
Victoria Walker grew up in Cumbria and moved to Cornwall in 2002. After originally studying Fine Art and Illustration, she fell in love with jewellery making and graduated with a first BA (Hons) degree in Jewellery & Silversmithing at Truro College in 2009. During the course, she won the Goldsmiths’ Company Precious Metal Bursary award for her designs.
Specialising in fine, kinetic jewellery, Victoria’s work is inspired by the beauty of natural forms; her signature botanical lockets featuring miniature articulated flowers that gently emerge and unfold from within. These moving designs are inspired by the sentimental nature of lockets, in that sometimes the most precious and treasured elements are hidden beneath the surface. Using traditional techniques with precious metals and diamonds, every tiny petal is hand formed and precisely engineered to create these beautiful impressions of the natural world.
