A necklace featuring sections of hand-made, articulated circles of textured, anodised titanium and sterling silver, connected with jumprings and suspended along a sterling silver chain. The textured titanium segments are anodised in yellow-gold tones, and interspersed with textured sterling silver cut in short lengths, and one circular. In addition to the textured sterling silver sheet pieces, there is one organic 'free-form' piece of cast silver. The coloured titanium circles are folded to form the quarter of an orb, and when placed together they oscillate gently to form a half or full orb. The necklace is finished with a hand-made sterling silver clasp.
