French Dolls Head Sterling Silver Pendant and Oxidised Chain

Inspired by a 19th-century porcelain doll’s head discovered at a Parisian flea market, this pendant reinterprets a treasured find in sterling silver.

Handcrafted and suspended from a handmade sterling silver chain, the pendant has been oxidised to bring depth to its sculptural details. Darkened recesses contrast with brighter silver, lending the piece a character sympathetic to its antique inspiration.

An evocative piece with a quiet sense of curiosity, made to be worn and treasured.
