Pendant with interchangeable and removable brooch elements, plus short-story.
The pendant is made from a stopcock handle found in the basement of the derelict Leith Tramworks in Edinburgh. It becomes, with the help of a rusted light-fitting, a bathysphere, from which marvellous corals (set into the top of a ring) can be spied. The depth to which the bathysphere can dive is indicated by the element on the chain and the strange sea-creature there can be removed and worn as a brooch.
The coral is hand-made ceramic (porcelain) by Lisa Stevens, a marvellous ceramics artist from Bristol, UK.
The bathysphere is made from found steel, silver, brass from a spring-balance, garnets, gold, included quartz, a lens from a vintage movie camera, magnets from an old electric toothbrush and a diamond. The hanging tag is hand-engraved.
The ring inside the bathysphere is made from silver and ceramic.
The "Full Fathom Five" brooch is made from silver, hand-raised and torch-coloured titanium and a pale amethyst. It sits on a chain element made from a rusty steel rule, silver and brass.
The chain and bayonet catch are hand-made and the swivel mechanism is made from a found iron bolt.
