EC Charm Necklace

EC Charm Necklace 

Emma Cunningham

500mm long, excluding clasp.

Handcrafted by Emma Cunningham from reconstructed vintage pure brass chain, this bespoke necklace is a timeless foundation for a jewellery collection that is uniquely your own. Finished with a vintage brass lobster clasp and Emma's signature sand-cast bronze EC tag, each piece reflects the beauty of reclaimed materials and considered craftsmanship.

Wear it as a striking statement chain or personalise it with your favourite charms and amulets to create a piece that tells your story. The adjustable design allows the clasp to fasten onto any link for a customised length and styling. With time and wear, the pure brass develops a rich antique patina, making every necklace beautifully individual.

Price is for the necklace chain only. Charms and amulets are available separately.

About Emma....

My home and studio are nestled in a rural valley on the outskirts of Whanganui, Aotearoa - New Zealand.

Home is shared with husband Matt Higgs {sand casting department}, family, and the wildlife that surrounds us.

I've been making art ever since I can remember. Exhibiting on a regular basis since graduating from Art School in the mid 1990's, and working full-time on my art and jewellery practice since 2014.

These days my focus is jewellery.

The majority of my work is made from vintage silverware and sand cast bronze. I use recycled and natural materials, and am interested in the meaning that different materials convey.
It's important to me that my finished work shows traces of construction, hammer marks, how the elements are bound together, signs of the maker, evidence of the handmade.

My work draws inspiration from nature and is concerned with the preservation of it. It celebrates the beauty of our natural world and hopefully serves as a reminder of what we have to lose if we do not protect it.

Birds and winged animals appear as signposts, guardians, messengers. They fly the crack between worlds, weaving ancient myth and folklore with our present day. 

No two works are the same, and each has a story to tell.
