New In The Shop - Haiku Necklace

I'm so excited to share with you a new piece that I have been working on! The 'Haiku' is a minimalist sterling silver pendant in nine variations that was released in the shop today. 

As the weather warms up in the southern hemisphere, and Spring buds start to blossom, I was inspired to create a piece to accompany the shift from Winter coats to Summer necklines. The 70 cm length chain means the Haiku can easily be slipped over your head to be worn with dresses, singlets or blouses. The minimalist design, and silver and oxidised tones, easily accessorise with your staples over the warmer months.

From iced coffee cafe treats, to afternoon beach side walks, this go to piece will instantly add charm to any outfit. There are nine variations to choose from, which include straight and curved pendants, with polished, textured or oxidised finishes.

New in the Shop - 'Maeve' Rings and 'Lois' Hoops

'Maeve' Ring

'Lois' Hoops

I'm a sentimental girl at heart with old postcards tucked away in my diaries, antique jewellery hidden in my jewellery box and a drawer full of my Grandmothers starched linen and intricate doilies. These always fascinated me as child who could not even knit. It was quite beyond me how anyone could create such delicate and beautiful work. Years later I would crochet my own doilies and feel an immense satisfaction. The younger me was especially impressed with myself.

Indeed, it is partly that fascintation, partly the satisfaction and partly the sentimentality that inspired me to create this collection of contemporary silver and rose gold jewellery, which hints at a time of linen covered tables and doilie decorated bureaus. With metal, punches and drills, I have handcrafted each piece to evoke the beauty of women's hand work and the romance of yesteryear.

I've chosen to work with the soft tones of rose gold to further embrace times gone by, as much antique gold jewellery has a pink hue due to the old recipes for alloying pure gold to give it strength. I have incorporated pearls in to two of the pieces still to come, as I find the allure of pearls is timeless, while they enhance the beauty of their wearer at any age. 

This collection originated with a sketch of a doilie bunting and evolved from there to the six pieces that form the collection. Each design has been handmade from copper, professionally moulded and cast, to create identical likenesses so that the quality of each piece is of the same high standard. Each casting is then lovingly finished by hand.

Each item in this collection is unique to Christina Lowry Designs. These pieces are customisable and are also available in Sterling Silver, 9ct and 18ct Rose or Yellow Gold. Please email me with any queries you may have - christina-lowry@hotmail.com

The first two pieces in the 'Sentimental' Collection are now in the shop, with more to come soon!

New in the Shop - 'Fields Of Green' Ametrine Pendant

'Fields of Green'

When I added this beautiful and unusual gemstone to my collection I knew it would one day become a pendant. I sketched several different ideas before I understood that what was called for was a simple, elegant, modern setting which highlighted the wonderful bands of colour and the clarity this gem possesses.

This gorgeous piece is a work of art between nature and craft and deserves to be worn often, whenever the mood strikes. Casually layered with several chains and charms, or strikingly hung above a plunging neckline, this little luxury will add glamour day or night.

This solid sterling silver pendant is one of a kind piece and was handmade by Christina Lowry. It features a 17 x 13 mm Emerald cut Ametrine in a four claw setting, attached to a solid Sterling Silver 45cm chain.
