silver on pink
It has been lovely to be able to offer all the friends of our daughter, Clare, the choice of a keepsake in her memory from the wealth of jewellery found in her flat after she died last year.
These pieces had all been made in 'Rose Madder', her silversmithing enterprise which meant so much to her.
Over the years, as Flickr friends will know, I have been the recipient of many beautiful items from Clare which, perhaps strangely enough, have often seemed appropriate to use as subject matter for my own love of participating in group themes here.
Now I have this last piece, also found among the jewellery, but then in a slightly wabi-sabi state and not improved by my efforts at cleaning it when the female figure suddenly flew off from the silver ring. (Clare, no doubt, would have been amused!)
At first, I did not want to even let it out of my sight but recently a local jeweller restored the figure to its rightful place and cleaned the pendant beautifully. And I have found a silver chain for it.
