Victorian Marble Spinning Sphere & 24” Hallmarked Long Links Chain Necklace

Those of you who know me and my design style well know that lots of my jewellery collections include spheres, be those small or large, seaglass, gems or crystals, there is just something captivating about them especially when I transform them into my spinning sphere fidget necklaces where there is lots of thick fine silver moulded just around the middle of the sphere. This allows it to moves completely freely within its frame but is held very securely so won’t fall out. It’s very tactile with plenty of movement.
I like using vintage items in my work and recycling from antiques shops and that’s exactly where I got my Victorian marbles that have all those tell tale signs of age and history such as the bubble inclusions and the uneven marked surface likely from the pontil which is used in the glass making process.  This gorgeous blue marble is like the undulations of the sea and with the surface marks it brings such movement to the piece. It’s 22mm in diameter, completely unique with lots of character and because it moves around in the silver frame it just bounce the light in so many different ways. 
Supplied with my completely handmade  24” sterling silver long links chain. Each link is made from 1mm wide hand forged silver wire and soldered one by one and each is roughly 32mm long by 5.4mm wide The bail is my anchor shackle bail. The total length of the pendant including the bail is 38.6mm. This necklace is stamped with my full London assay hallmark on a tag next to the handmade hook clasp. 
The necklace weighs a total of 29.9g including the weight of the sphere. The pendant is permanently attached to the central point of the chain. 
The pendant will be sent in my signature gift box.
