Cast silver origami inspired model. 2 standing positions (rearing or normal).

Length: 52½mm.

These cast and rhodium plated solid silver models have been designed by Sophie Mackrell.

"My love of eastern and oriental art forms drew me to the ancient art of origami - the Japanese skill of folding paper to make recognisable forms. I wondered if this technique could be adapted to create jewellery or shapes cast in precious metals.
Whilst experimenting, it became apparent that wildlife forms worked especially well, and using silver I created these miniature designs inspired by the natural world around us.
Each piece sparkles and shines as the facets and folds dance in the light much like a beautifully cut precious stone. 
I hope you like the collection!"
