Story behind the piece: I had a beautiful piece of Mokume-gane for my piece. I decided to leave it pristine, to let it speak for itself. I added a little stone on the rim of the pendant for some sparkle, but the Mokume-gane is the main focus. I applied some patina to make the woodgrain pattern in the Mokume-gane stand out and choose a black leather cord for contrast to the light silver.
Artist Bio: I am originally from Sweden. My pieces clearly have elements of Swedish design, clean and simple without too much fuss. I love to work silver and create pieces of jewelry. I started making jewelry when I lived in Italy for a few years, a long time ago now. In Italy I learned to work silver and gold the old fashioned way, making everything by hand and that is how I work today as well. Still loving it!
