Olive Branch Necklace In Silver And Gold

Recalling the flair and elegance of ancient Roman artefacts and their delicate decorations, this sophisticated, yet minimal necklace is designed to stand out. The individually shaped and polished silvery, wavy lines of the necklace contrast with the irregular and deep woven texture of the pendant. The pendant, with its graceful pattern of a golden drooping olive branch, forms the focal point of the piece. Made in sterling silver and 24ct gold leaf applied using the ancient Korean technique of Keum Boo.

The Designer 

Hendrike Barz-Meltzer is a designer & maker based born in Germany and now living in Hertfordshire working with various materials, including precious & non-precious metals. Her pieces are outcomes of different approaches. It can be a design process: of lines or shapes drawn on paper, then transferred onto the human body, altered and later translated into materials. Paper or metal models frequently serve here as design aids. Working with the human body though, is an essential part of both processes and the pieces fully come to life when actually worn. 

Hendrike’s current work is very much influenced by patterns and by the wish to create jewellery that is ethically produced. She is fascinated by all sorts of patterns, made up of lines and shapes and the Korean technique of Keum-Boo allows for the creation of gold patterns on silver.
