This Silver Wolf has been hand made in the United Kingdom. 

Grey wolves (Canis lupus), are found in various guises throughout remote areas of the Northern Hemisphere. They have been an essential element in the folk law and literature of almost all cultures and ages.
She-wolves are the epitome of maternal protection and feminine strength, they were particularly prevalent in Roman legend and also the title given to England’s war-like medieval queens.

The sterling silver wolf measures around 2.5cm (which is close to an inch). It has eyes made from natural, cabochon cut, 4mm grey moonstone gemstones.
The silver wolf has been hung from an elegant, yet sturdy 20 inch long solid silver chain.
This pendant is supplied in its own gift box.

To create it I have utilized some of the most up-to-date technology alongside some of the oldest skills still used in jewellery and silversmithing. The original was hand carved from wax before being digitally scanned and resized. It was cast in solid sterling silver which was then reworked, for several hours, using traditional Goldsmiths' tools, to produce a very fine detail.
To emphasize the details of the carving, the silver model was given an antique appearance by oxidising and then satin finishing the pendant. The whole piece was then coated with a layer of clear lacquer to help preserve the colouration.

Wearing a piece of Adrian Ashley’s jewellery identifies you as someone who can appreciate handmade goods and fine craftmanship.
All of my silver jewellery is made from solid Sterling Silver (silver with a purity of at least 92.5%). It does not contain any lead or other harmful materials. I do my best to insure all the raw materials I use have been sourced responsibly and I always price my work honestly. All pieces are handmade in a small workshop in the English countryside and shipped to collectors across the world.
