Artist's Comments

Cecada Necklace
16" long
Coffin: 1-1/2"x1-1/4"x1"
Sterling Silver, Cecada shedding, Velvet, Mahogany

Location: VCU
Class: Beginning Jewelry - Level 2
Project: Casting
Professor: Ben ...?

This project was based on learning how to do casting. I used a cecada shedding as my inspiration - the idea of what we do to things when they're dead. If we had cecada funerals, what would we do? Would we build a cecada coffin? Would we cast them in silver (like we do with baby shoes)? Would we make something to commemorate them? (Hence the wood...The texture on a tree, where it lives).
