Large gold Barn Owl necklace, gold owl pendant with peridot eyes. Handmade to order © Adrian Ashley

This piece will be handmade for you in a small workshop in the United Kingdom. Please allow me between 6 and 12 weeks to finish making it.

With its heart-shaped face, soft feathers and ghostly silent flight the barn owl (Tyto alba) is a distinctive and much-loved countryside bird. Barn owls are the most widely distributed species of owl, and one of the most widespread of all bird species. They mate for life and can live for many years together. 

This barn owl is made from solid 9ct yellow gold that has been given a high carat gold coating to bring out the rich gold colour. The pendant measures 3.2cm or one and a quarter inches across its face. It is reassuringly heavy when worn and has eyes made from 6mm natural peridots.
The owl was hand carved from wax which had a mould taken from it and was then cast in solid gold and given a hallmark by the assay office. The cast gold owl was then worked on by hand, over the course of many hours, to add the fine details. It is supplied on an adjustable cord in its own gift box. 

This piece can be made for you with other types of gemstone for its eyes. Please contact me for a quotation.
