Family House Charm/Key Chain

I was asked to make three, three dimensional representations of a family lake house located in New Hampshire.

A sweet gift for the immediate members of the family, to whom the house is so important. Historically, dragonflies are important to the larger family, as emblematic of this place. So I inscribed some some dragonflies on the inside of the hollowed-out structure.

Admittedly these pieces are a little bit heavier than first imagined, they have such a nice sense of weight, and significance. The clients were able to pivot from charm to key chain charm. Warm in the pockets of those who love the place.

Sterling Silver. 2cm long.
