Gold Buttercup Flower Necklace

Handmade fine silver buttercup pendant.
Keum-boo technique fuses gold to the surface.
Cupped petals and a textured centre.

Cupped petals give Sue’s buttercup its rounded, flower-like depth. Gold is fused onto a fine silver base using Keum-boo, producing the warm surface that makes this little bloom so distinctive. It is an appealing way to bring gold colour into a silver jewellery collection.

THE HANDS BEHIND THE PIECE

The Magic of Fireflies and Dragonflies
Suffolk, UK

Sue Studd brings a teacher’s curiosity and an artist’s eye to silver clay. Working in Suffolk, she builds jewellery around the small details of the natural world: a dragonfly’s wings, a leaf’s branching veins, the outline of a shell. Her background spans painting, textiles and primary teaching; today, she makes fine silver jewellery and shares the craft through hands-on workshops.
