Description
The Hiker Necklace
“CLIMB THE MOUNTAINS AND GET THEIR GOOD TIDINGS”
Sterling silver ‘Mountain Hiker’ necklace. All hand-forged from sterling silver, this piece has so much detail, and is perfect for the hiker out there who wants a reminder of what they love to do most.
The design has been hand-drawn and then the silver deeply etched with a hiker trekking the moutain path. The silver has been hammered, textured and distressed, and a hand-forged chunky bail soldered on, before being oxidised, brushed and given a final light polish for just a subtle shine. The pendant measures approximately 1 1/8 wide and 7/8″ tall, and hangs from a lightly oxidised sturdy sterling silver chain, in either 16″ or 20″. (If you need a chain shorter or longer, message me before buying to discuss having one handmade to suit).
This piece has been made with the hiker in mind. The silver is chunky yet still light and comfortable to wear. The hand-designed bail is strong, and also quirky, adding interest to the back. All loops are soldered, and the chain is sturdy. This is the perfect piece to take on your adventures with you; it’s no delicate wallflower.
Perfect to wear both on your hikes, and also at the 9-5 grind while you’re daydreaming about what you’d rather be doing. A reminder of who you really are at heart.
The inspiration for this design comes from my absolute favourite John Muir quote:
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings, Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”
The perfect gift for nature lovers, mountain climbers, hikers, campers, or anyone who needs a reminder to get out there and see the beauty that is all around us in nature, as often as possible. Fill your heart up with it.
Each piece is individually handmade, so there will be very slight differences in forging which will make your piece, in some small way, entirely unique to you.
Part of my “Wild Earth” collection, a celebration of the natural world, its landscapes and wild inhabitants. These pieces are created as a reminder that there is no better designer than Nature, and to find enough beauty to fill the soul, we need only look around us.
Designed and lovingly created in my studio in Moray, Scotland.
I work in sterling silver, ancient bronze, copper and brass, with natural semi-precious gemstones. I make pieces which are perfect for layering together, mixing and matching, so you can grow your collection and choose your pieces according to your mood, or the inspiration you want to gain that day.
Each piece is unique. Whilst I may create similar pieces, as every piece is made individually by hand, no two will ever be the same. I am registered with Edinburgh Assay Office for precious metal work.
