Mālu Pendant
A solid silver fish, a talisman for the wearer. Smooth, tactile and comforting to hold, a simple symbol of freedom.
When I was designing this collection, I kept being drawn back to the fish, a symbolic form found in cultures across the world. In both Ireland and Sri Lanka where this collection was inspired, I found myself living by the sea and spending reflective periods in the water. Often seen as a sign of abundance, fertility, and luck, for me it represents freedom, not only in movement, but in thought, and our ability to adapt to the ever changing flow of life.

Making Process
To create this piece I used the ancient technique of wax carving, and had it cast into silver using the lost wax casting method. The design is then recreated using the casting process, and each one is hand finished in my studio using traditional goldsmith tools and techniques. Slight variations in the finish may occur, making each one unique.
Hallmarking
This pendant will be hallmarked by the Dublin Assay Office and stamped with my makers mark.
