Ant Hat's 'Faithful Tears' pendant in sterling silver depicts two half skulls connected by the lower half of a crucifix. Extending above the two front-facing skulls is the upper section of the crucifix.
The pendant is darkened as a result of oxidisation so that features on each skull are emphasised where the eyes, mouth and nose should be.
Materials: Sterling silver
Dimensions: 30mm x 18mm x 5mm

The Ant Hat line is the pseudonym of a Melbourne jeweller. The works this jeweller creates are contemplations, interweaving both the silence and the deafening noise post-encore.
Known for the precision of her carvings, Ant Hat’s signature pieces include hand-detailed skulls and anatomically correct hearts, all no more than a centimetre high.
Each component is cast from an original wax carving by the artist, hand-crafted and finished in her Melbourne studio.
