Description

Product Name: ROSES necklace, hand carved in a 1963 silver French 5 Franc Piece, Recycled Coin Art, retailer inspired by Rennie Mackintosh (0.835 silver)

A genuine French silver coin carved into an art nouveau Glasgow Rose inspired design. Would make a unique romantic gift with the added attraction of being 100% recycled and hand made. Mounted on a cotton cord or sterling silver chain.

All coins are cut by hand in our workshop in southern France, where we are currently trying to rescue an abandoned old house to create an eco responsible living and working space.


ABOUT MY WORK:

I use recycled materials and hand tools. Coins are either drilled and carved freehand, or for the more detailed pieces, a template is glued as a guide for the saw.

Some coin designs are beautiful in their own right and the cutting simply involves following the lines already there. For many of my designs though I use the coin as a canvas, superimposing a new image. I continue to push myself to create new and innovative pieces and try to push the limits of what I can achieve in terms of scale and detail.

There are many different inspirations and messages in my art. Key themes are around equality, justice, respect for each other and respect for our surroundings.

Because my work doesn't require retailer any power I have a very compact and mobile workbench and have carved coins on mountains, beaches and next to rivers.
