Jelly Bean Necklace, Yellow Agate, by Alistair R
The Jelly Bean Pendants: The intricate and careful task of carving these jelly beans from rough stone is a bit of a favourite process for Alistair – for the satisfaction of creating the unusual and unique forms that emerge. It is time consuming – like sculpture. You can take away but you can’t put back. Each is a different size and shape – working around any impurities or fractures in the stone. All of the 10 or so steps that are involved from rough stone to the finished jelly bean are done by hand in the workshop.
The Omega chain is made from a continuous narrow flat band of gold plated silver wrapped around a memory core to maintain the necklace shape and help prevent crimping.
(Various colours available in the gallery)
Approximate Size: Jelly Bean 2cm x 1cm, Chain Length 16 inch
Alistair R remains a small family atelier style studio workshop hand making small volumes of jewellery. Working from rough stone he carves simple architectural shapes to highlight the beautiful colours and tones of the stone and other material with which he works. These are made into necklaces, earrings, cufflinks, lapel pins, commission and ‘one-of’ pieces – of timelessly simple yet striking design.
