EC Pendant Necklace

EC Pendant Necklace 

Emma Cunningham

750mm long vintage figaro chain with a 110mm extension.

Handcrafted by Emma Cunningham from deconstructed vintage pure brass Figaro chain, this bespoke necklace is designed for versatility and effortless styling. Finished with a vintage brass clasp, a sliding pure brass pendant loop, and Emma's signature sand-cast bronze EC tag, each piece celebrates the beauty of reclaimed materials and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Designed to be worn long or doubled for a layered look, the sliding pendant loop keeps the chain beautifully in place, creating endless opportunities to personalise with your favourite charms, amulets or pendants. Over time, the pure brass develops a rich antique patina, ensuring every necklace becomes uniquely its own with wear.

Price is for the chain only. Charms, amulets and pendants 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.
