Talisman
Lucy Spink Jewellery
Flushing, England
Etched silver framed with silver and holding a resin covered lichen. The inner surface is etched with the names of rare lichens which grow around the UK. The whole project is about creating talisman pieces of jewellery to keep the names of these species under threat alive in our minds.
A recycled silver and gold brooch with the names of lichen's etched into the surface and gold detail to highlight the design. Each Talisman Brooch is a one off piece designed to highlight the precarious nature of our declining species and create talisman pieces of jewellery which allow us to hold the names of these threatened species close.
Each talisman brooch is etched with the names of species which are under threat of extinction through human action. This on has a hold for a single feather so you can find your own and replace it. There is a single silver feather and a golden egg shape as charms which hang from the bottom of the brooch.
