Solid silver table top sculpture, Platinum coated, Sterling Silver, with Hallmarks. Silver and ceramic plinth. Handmade © Argent Aqua

*This piece is finished and ready to be shipped.*

One of a kind, platinum plated, solid silver sculpture with an area of parcel gilt.
Made in the United Kingdom. The design of this unique piece was inspired by organic structural systems found in forms both living and fossilized.

Size: 3.1cm Wide x 8.6cm High x 3.4cm Deep.

This unique, solid Sterling Silver sculpture is supplied with an oxidised silver and ceramic plinth (the plinth is removable - and not included in the dimensions stated). Without its plinth, this piece measures 8.6cm (a little under three and a half inches). It weighs 58.5g and has been cast solid silver. The silver has been platinum plated, with an area of parcel gilt.
This piece can be removed from the oxidised silver plinth it is supplied on, so that the implausible weight of the precious metal and tactile qualities of the sculpture can be explored to help relieve stress or inspire positive thought. This work is robust and small enough to be transported in a pocket or bag. It could even be worn on a ribbon or cord as an elaborate piece of contemporary jewellery.

I have worked for most of my life within the jewellery trade and am now using the skills I have acquired to construct sculpture. Although most traditional jewellery is not strictly utilitarian, it still has the constraints associated with being displayed on the human body. With my current work I am releasing the precious materials I’m familiar with from such restraints and recognizing them as a suitable medium to create fine art.
