A necklace to celebrate happier times

Willow was such a stunning cat, with a striking outline and a range of complex colours in her beautiful coat.

I cut her main component pieces of tail, body head and face from sterling silver before soldering the layers together to recreate her distinctive shape. Her thick coat was made by deeply engraving the silver following closely the way her fur lay.

The Willow necklace really came to life once I started adding layers of oxidised silver, gold and rose gold plating to build up the rich colours of her coat.
