The Medium Cross Bone & Drop Necklace is a handcrafted sterling silver necklace made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. It belongs to the Curios Collection, where natural history, memento mori symbolism and careful craftsmanship meet.
The pendant is formed from fox tail vertebrae shapes arranged into a small cross, creating a quiet symbol of memory, mortality and reflection. Cast in sterling silver, the bone forms become a delicate wearable object with a refined, slightly gothic presence.
This necklace is available with your choice of freshwater pearl, onyx or amethyst drop. Freshwater pearl adds soft organic lustre, onyx creates a darker gothic contrast, and amethyst introduces a gentle violet tone to the silver cross form.
Materials: Sterling silver with your choice of freshwater pearl, onyx or amethyst drop.
Process: Each necklace is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing and casting techniques. The fox tail vertebrae forms were originally moulded, then wax versions were arranged into the cross shape before being cast in sterling silver. Slight differences in texture, finish and pearl or gemstone character should be expected as part of the handmade process.
Dimensions: Pendant: 2 cm x 1.5 cm. Sterling silver chain: 45 cm length.
