Silver Fern Necklace
Having a strong connection to the land of my birth, the sight of a silver fern makes my heart clench with memories. At night we would drive along the bushy roads and the headlights of the car would pick up the undersides of the leaves and they would literally glow with their silvery sheen in the light, almost ghostly.
In Maori culture the fern is most often represented as a koru with the fern head still tightly curled. I wanted to take my piece that little step further, before the fern fronds completely unfurl to the classic fern shape but as they are starting to unfold from the tight coil.
This piece represents the transition as we move from one state of being to our next. It is celebration of change and development. To me it celebrates the change of my life from childhood memories to adult awareness.
Or…. it is simply a beautiful fern.
That is up to you.

The silver fern created in this piece is a unique handmade rendition meaning there will never be another just like it. Just as with nature, the balling of the silver to create the fernlets never had the same outcome, ensuring completely individual pieces.
