The Kissing Seahorses Pendant is a handcrafted sterling silver necklace made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. It belongs to the Oceanic Collection, a series inspired by marine life, coastal forms and the textures of the South Australian shoreline.
The design began with real seahorse forms found along the South Australian coastline. They were carefully moulded so their curled bodies, ridged texture and delicate natural detail could be preserved before being transformed into sterling silver.
Arranged to face one another, the two seahorses create a tender ocean-inspired pendant with a quiet sense of connection. Freshwater pearls add soft organic lustre, bringing gentle movement and contrast to the sculptural silver forms.
Materials: Sterling silver, freshwater pearls.
Process: Each pendant is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing and casting techniques. The original seahorse forms were carefully moulded before being cast in sterling silver. Slight differences in texture, finish and pearl character should be expected as part of the handmade process.
Dimensions: 3cm x 2.5 cm. 45cm length chain.

FAQ
Q1: How do I clean the Kissing Seahorses Pendant ?
A: Avoid perfumes, lotions and harsh chemicals, and gently polish the sterling silver with a soft jewellery cloth. Because the pendant includes freshwater pearls, do not place the pearls or stone in silver dip. A silver dip may be used occasionally on the sterling silver components only, following the product instructions carefully before rinsing and drying completely.
Q2: What does the kissing seahorse design symbolise?
A: The two seahorses facing one another suggest connection, tenderness and the quiet rhythms of marine life. The design keeps the oceanic detail refined while giving the pendant a gentle symbolic quality.
Q3: Will the freshwater pearls look exactly the same as the photo?
A: Freshwater pearls are natural materials, so each pearl may vary slightly in shape, surface and lustre. These subtle differences are part of the character of handmade jewellery made with natural materials.
