elle


Elle is one of my designs based on the recycling of everyday items into wearable art. Each pendant is hand pierced from a retired coin from France called a Centime, and is then fitted with a handmade Sterling Silver bezel whose inner dimensions are the exact shape and size as the original coin. The pendant encompasses a great deal of motion, but has a definite center of gravity. The figure on the coin seems to be soaring through space and time.

I make this pendant in two different sizes, the larger 20 Centime and the smaller 10 Centime.
