Home Rings Together

The What:

'Home Rings Together' is a jewellery pendant that was designed and made from scratch. The pendant was sawed, filed, sanded and riveted with aluminium, brass and copper. Inspired by the diverse nature of Queensland homes. One aspect being their batten gables (the striped patten of wood under where roofs meet).

The Why:

Having this concept as a pendant and the narrative of home spirals well together being placed near the heart. The affect of the piece easily losing its polish but still being shaped as home to represent the old but still the same. The emotional attachments to places that never truly leave us emotionally.

The How:

This pendant is special because when a person compliments or asks about our jewellery, there is always a narrative to tell. Whether where it was from, or who gave it to them. Using this opportunity of short conversation as a designed advantage, through contemporary jewellery, was an amazing opportunity to experience.
