Egg with Legs pearl necklace

This necklace has been a long time coming. The idea came about just as soon as I started painting eggs with legs during the first lockdown of 2020.

I struggled to find the right kind of pearl for the job- I wanted a lumpen, imperfect gem but I still wanted it to retain an orb, egg-like shape with the occasional pasture of smooth curvature.

It took 10 months for me to find the right one and a further 2 or so years to finally set the legs in a way that pleased me. 

This piece is completely one-of-a-kind.

The legs were carved in wax and cast in 925 sterling silver.

Pendant: 3.5cm x  1.8cm x 1.8cm

Made in England
