Keepsake Acorn Oak Pendant Handcrafted in Recycled Silver and Copper
£79.00
Acorn keepsake recycled bimetal pendant with 18 inch sterling silver curb chain.
From little acorns, mighty oak trees grow.
“The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs.”
This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson beautifully captures the potential within small beginnings, reminding us that every grand creation starts with a simple, humble origin.
Ordering Process:
After purchase, please place your ashes in a clearly labeled sealed bag or doubled up envelope (not a container, as I will be unable to return it due to your item being sent in a ‘large letter’ sized box). Include your full name and address attached to your keepsake inside the parcel. Note that the process time of 1-6 weeks starts once I receive your keepsake. If you need it sooner, please contact me before ordering to confirm the timeline.
Any unused ashes will be returned with your special made order.
How they are made, Sizes and Details.
All my items are handcrafted and bespoke so there may be small differences between pieces that make them unique. Sometimes the ashes can slightly show in the metal so it shows more texture, whereas other times it is a lot smoother in appearance.
The copper clay is first weighed out and handcrafted into a acorn mold with a mix of your ashes incorporated, this is to ensure only your ashes are added to that clay piece, then a layer of Sterling Silver clay is molded and fused in the kiln over the top of the acorn (rather than a thin plating as is often found on jewellery) to give a thick textured finish that will last for generations to come, becoming part of the pendant and incorporated to the metal itself. So, your keepsake can’t be any more secure (there are no screws or ways for the ashes to fall out, like some designs out there). Then a silver bail is soldered on and it all goes in the tumbling machine for a good polish. Once polished, a protector lacquer is added over the top so that the copper stays the same colour and doesn’t naturally tarnish as fast, sometimes leaving a black mark on the skin. If you would not like this adding and you want the copper to naturally darken, then please send me a message along with your purchase. All my items are handcrafted and although I do try to make each piece identical, there will be some very small differences that make them unique.
Approximately 22 mm long x 13 mm wide with a solid 1.5 mm thick 18 inch curb chain. Size including acorn and bails is 29 mm long.

While my jewellery listings may show multiple items in stock, this refers to the metal materials I have available in my workshop. Each piece is made to order, ensuring its freshly crafted just for you.
