Blackberry necklace (TB33)

Necklace by Tim Blades

Materials - silver, oxidising silver beads with fresh water pearls

Tim takes a very sculptural approach to his work and produces pieces which are three dimensional and naturalistic. He carves the designs under a microscope using a very hard wax which enables him to produce great detail. The pieces are then cast in silver, gold or bronze.
