About this piece
The Promise was composed by Michael Nyman to illustrate one of my favourite films - The Piano.I wanted to create something that would refer to this film and to Nyman's incredible music. This pendant seems to do it so perfectly. Its form brings the spirit of those times, and colours are a reflection of the way Jane Campion presented New Zealand - rain and salty sea water, mud and exotic plants...
I've decided not to wipe the oxide to reveal shiny silver, but to polish the piece, hence the silver turned out almost identical in colour to tiny freshwater pearls used in this piece - opalescent in brown, black and grey but also blue and green. The stones are tourmaline quartz in a form of a large briolette and faceted aquamarines in green shades. All in sterling and fine silver.
The pendant measures 8cm / 3.2''.
The whole necklace is 80cm / 32'' long.
