COPPER TURTLE

COPPER TURTLE

Marti Carr-Harris

Jewellery Designer

Saanichton, Vancouver Island

Copper Turtle jewelry is created from pieces of older metal. Some of these metals include Red Brass, Silver, Stainless Steel and Copper. I work with metals from an age when goods were not mass-produced so I feel that this brings something from the past into the present in a unique form.

Colours and textures are formed by heat and hammering in a process similar to reticulation.

The look is further enhanced by the addition of Freshwater Pearls.

Hooks are surgical steel.
