Few sights are as heartwarming as that of a mother duck leading her line of ducklings, each tiny figure diligently following the one in front. It was a scene I’d often witnessed at a pond near my childhood home. The gentle ripples of the water, the soft quacking of the ducks, and the synchronized paddling of little feet painted a serene tableau of motherhood and guidance.

The mother duck, with her unerring instinct, always led the way, ensuring her brood was safe. She was a beacon of protection, nurturing, and unwavering love. Each duckling, in turn, displayed a steadfast trust, their tiny forms brimming with determination and an eagerness to explore under their mother's watchful gaze.

Feeling a deep connection to this poignant display of maternal love, I felt compelled to immortalize it. Using the lustrous beauty of sterling silver, I crafted a pendant. The design depicted a mother duck, proud and vigilant, with a trail of her adorable ducklings behind her. Each figure was detailed, capturing their individuality yet showing the strong bond uniting them.

This pendant serves as a tribute to all mothers who guide, protect, and nurture, ensuring their children are prepared for the world ahead. It’s a celebration of the selfless love that forms the bedrock of families, reminding wearers of the strength and beauty of motherhood. Whether gifted to a mother, worn in memory of one, or simply cherished for its symbolism, this pendant stands as a testament to the enduring love that guides us throughout our lives.

Maker's Seconds

Maker's Seconds are handmade pieces that didn’t quite meet my usual standards — maybe a tiny solder mark, a slightly off-centre setting, or a texture that came out a little more ‘organic’ than intended. They’re still beautiful, wearable, and made with love, but they come with a little quirk or character that sets them apart.

Offered at a reduced price, Maker’s Seconds are a wonderful way to own a unique piece of artisan jewellery while embracing the beauty of imperfection — and supporting sustainable, low-waste making.
