Description
This is a handmade ‘caricature’ of an Ormer Shell. This is my version of the Ormer, pared down to it’s beautifully simplified basic characteristics.
Handmade by Athene in recycled sterling silver and then cast from Athene’s own resulting mould, each one of the cast pieces is then worked into by hand to create detail and individuality. No two of these will ever be identical and the imperfections and idiosyncracies of the handfinishing process are design elements in their own right to be celebrated.
