Lava ball pendant on neoprene necklace by Cotopxi
Available in-store or online
Cotopaxi in
Ecuador is one of the three volcanoes celebrated in the evocative poem
“Romance” about the dreams of youth by the Australian poet W.J.Turner
(1889-1946), and the mountain was revered by the Incas as The Throne of the
Moon. The imposing beauty of the Andes made a lasting impression on me and lava
from volcanoes is a beautiful material which I use frequently. After many years
in the business world the need to repair an antique necklace led me to take a
basic silver-smithing course. That prompted me to pursue my artistic traits and
to create my own designs which are inspired by the jewellery and artefacts
made by the craftsmen of the Inca and other civilisations which flourished
around those mountains.
