Large Malachite Bronze Necklace

An ancient inspired chunky necklace of tumbled striped knotted malachite beads. Partially round the necklace is a sculptural bronze feature, hand textured to evoke the ripples of the malachite. The necklace is fastened with a beautiful handmade bronze hook clasp. Malachite has a connection to the ancient world, being used for paint pigment, and ancient civilizations associated it with having ancient powers.

Necklace length 21 inches.

The Designer 

From the buried treasures of Pompeii to jewels found in meteorites and asteroids falling to earth over millennia; Jade Mellor wants to evoke the feeling of uncovering gems that have practically become part of the landscape through the wearing of time, but originate from another world or civilisation. 

The techniques she continues to develop push this medium and her further research into natural history, ancient civilisation and passion for nature's jewels result in exciting colours and textures in processes inspired by fossilisation and mineral structures.
