Description:

A sculptural and sinewy pendant made from 100% recycled silver with recycled 18ct yellow gold Vermeil plating in a contemporary satin finish and a recycled silver contrasting dark patina chain.

Vermeil is a thicker and more beautiful quality of plating of at least 2.5 microns. I use 4 microns which is 8 times thicker than normal gold plating. It therefore displays all the luxurious glow, weight and feel of gold whilst being much more affordable than solid gold. Perfect for all you gold lovers. Both the silver and gold in this piece is recycled and has been reclaimed from products that range from scrap jewellery to scrap medical and electronic equipment. All of my work is created with sustainability in mind whilst retaining quality and integrity.

Pendant size: 5cm long x 2cm wide (at widest part) x 1cm deep

Chain length: 40cm plus a 6cm extension so you can customise the length to suit you (16inches extendable to 18inches).
If you would prefer a different length please contact me before ordering.

Care Instructions:

As a general rule protect all of your jewellery as much as you can from excessive heat, sunlight, sweat, swimming pools and chlorinated water, chemicals and cosmetics. Remove your jewellery before bathing, swimming, using household cleaners and bleach, putting on lotion, perfume or makeup.

Story:

This pendant is from my signature SKINS collection, featuring extraordinary layers, folds and textures made from the interaction and intervention of my skin against the material.
I have a fascination with texture, degradation and decay and in the traces and residues left behind often using my body as tool and material to explore the transference, intervention and preservation of the self; bodily presence in absence of the body.

Charlotte E Padgham Contemporary Art & Jewellery

Charlotte E Padgham is an experimental and sustainable artist and jewellery designer-maker exploring themes of transition, manipulation, ephemerality and ‘imperfection’ using found objects, waste material and organic matter fused with precious and semi-precious elements. She has a fascination with texture, degradation and decay and in the traces and residues left behind often using her body as tool and material to explore the transference, intervention and preservation of the self.

Circular economy principles are an integral part of her process. With a focus and commitment to ethical and sustainable making, materials and waste are reused, reworked and recycled within and across her art and jewellery practices. She is passionate about sourcing materials with her own hands, re-using what is already in circulation, and giving new life to what cannot be recycled.

Since early 2020, Charlotte has researched and developed systems for reclaiming and reusing waste silver from used photographic fixer to plate and form elements of her jewellery and artworks. She has also initiated several methods of reusing waste non-recyclable resin-coated photographic paper and Polaroids as a new material for creating wearable photographs and jewellery including ‘gemstones’, sculptural objects and intaglio prints. This element of her work has been documented in two publications by The Sustainable Darkroom and London Alternative Photography Collective.

All of Charlotte’s precious metal jewellery is Hallmarked at the London Assay Office, and she is a registered Fairmined goldsmith.

Charlotte is a member of the Association for Contemporary Jewellery, Heritage Crafts, The Society of British Jewellers, The Guild of Jewellery Designers and Precious Collective. She is also included in the Crafts Council Directory and was amongst the first 50 jewellers to have taken the Fair Luxury Pledge in 2021
