Sean Rainey - Timepiece Pendant - Mixed Metal with Dragonflies or Bees

A duo of delicate dragonflies or a charming pair of bees perch beautifully on a watch movement from yesteryear. This recycled piece is a classic and the contrasting brass and silver tones add to the detail of this stunning piece.

Dragonflies and bees are made from brass, and plated with silver/copper then antiqued. The chain is made from brass 60cm in length. The watch movement is genuine vintage. All components are lead and nickel free.

About the Artist: Sean has been making recycled jewellery for well over a decade.  As a child, he used to love building little car and plane models, and later on, he developed a penchant for gadgets.  This passion has now flowed into jewellery making.

Artistic Process:  Sean rescues found objects that would have been otherwise discarded and gives them new life as jewellery pieces.  Recycled components are usually in the form of intricate vintage timepieces and nostalgic coins from Aotearoa, but he has also used military buttons, metal milk tokens and even old bullets to give them a better life.  He uses his silversmithing skills to combine lovely recycled elements with  nature- themed charms and embellishments and finishes each piece by hand.

Delivery Timeframe: Please note the flower stems are made to order, and take at least three to five business days to make. If you need them sooner, please contact us.
