Danu Necklace

41 cm chain 

sterling silver 

This necklace makes clever use of basic silver-smithing materials and techniques to create a simple, minimalist linked chain with lots of drama. The nature of silver is uniquely suitable for a necklace named for Danu as it comes from the Earth, reflects the Sky, and flows like the Sea. In parts comforting, inspiring and creative, silver embodies this primordial goddess who is the creator of all things.

Care Instructions: Keep sterling silver away from humidity and water. Buff gently with a soft cloth. Patinaed items should not be cleaned with silver polish of any sort.

Her work is informed by the belief that decorating one's body is a deeply rooted human instinct. For the artist, jewellery is an emotional, highly personal vehicle through which we can foster connections with others by revealing our hearts. In her hands, jewellery becomes the medium through which we discover our true selves and find our kindred spirits.

Patricia studied fine arts at McMaster University and earned her Master's degree at the University of Victoria in Victoria, B.C., Canada. She was fortunate to learn smithing from master metalsmith and multimedia artist, Tosca Terán in Toronto, Canada.
