A wow of a piece, and one of the most beautiful designs I have come across by Kate Eadie. She trained alongside Bernard Instone and George Hunt at the Vittoria Street School for Silversmiths and Jewellers in Birmingham. Her designs were all different and made with tender loving care, as you would expect from such a talented designer and craftswoman. To find her delicately made oak leaves and the precise, twisted rope work detailing is just such a joy. The tiny multi claws on the stones are another lovely feature of her jewellery.

I adore this sweet and wonderfully romantic pendant. In three sections, the first being the hand crafted bale decorated with tiny oak leaves and an acorn. Two chains are suspended from a 3-way link to the central section, which hints at the design of the main part, in that it displays a round, domed moonstone and that textured faux rivet detail which appears often in her pieces, along with clusters of oak leaves to either side.

Suspended underneath is the main heart-shaped and glorious main section of the pendant. A cluster of three large, Ceylon blue moonstones are placed in the centre, with faux rivets, oak leaves and tiny flower detailing seen in the Gaskins pieces (Kate studied under the Gaskins’ tutelage) decorating the whole heart shaped form. Precise hand detailing is found on the reverse as you would expect with her pieces.

The height of the pendant is approx 6.8cm. Please note the chain is not included-it was used for display purposes only.

I will send with International Tracked and Signed or else Special Delivery to the UK. Thank you!
