Description

This freeform shaped pendant features pastel hued Cornish surfite bezel set in sterling silver, the surfite has diagonal stripes in pale green, pale blue, pink, lilac, gold and translucent (this band has whisps of opaque white in it like little clouds). This is a chunky pendant measuring approx 55mm (inc bail) by 30mm, it comes with a sterling silver snake chain but the bail is large enough to fit a ribbon or cord if you wanted to swap it over. The freeform leaf like shape has a wonderful tactile quality to it – you want to run your fingers over its curves and surfite is warm to the touch. The surface of the surfite has little dimples from air bubbles being trapped as the material was formed.
Surfite is cured epoxy resin waste that builds up during surfboard manufacture, during the glassing stage the excess resin is drained off the board and into a bucket. Once the bucket is full and fully cured the resultant block is normally thrown away but I managed to get Toy Factory Surfboards in Newquay to sell me one and took a saw to it! You can see the block and a work in progress shot in the photos, the rough isn’t included but if you want something else making drop me a message. This pendant would make a great gift for a surfer or someone with ties to the Cornish coast.
Measures 55mm by 30mm (inc bail) and comes gift boxed.
