Albatross necklace. Made from highly polished, tarnish resistant silver, strung on a strong cord. © Adrian Ashley

 A solid silver portrait of the enormous, magnificent birds who spend their long lives soaring amid the mountainous seas of the southern oceans.

With recorded wingspans of over 12 feet Albatrosses are one of the world’s largest birds. Albatrosses are known to form 'Pair Bonds', a scientific term that implies a lifelong monogamous relationship.

Yachtsmen and women skilled enough to sail in the high southern latitudes have recorded these giants following their boats for days on end.
In days of old the albatross was seen as a fellow traveller, another 'Christian soul', by lonely sailors. They believed the albatross brought good luck for the crew and symbolizes the delicate balance between man and the ocean.

Wearing a piece of Adrian Ashley’s jewellery identifies you as someone who loves the ocean or the great outdoors. 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 materials I use have been sourced responsibly and I always price my work honestly.
