Wedgwood and Jewellery: Black Basalt Necklace | World of Wedgwood
This necklace was made in 1982 by the English jewellery artist Wendy Ramshaw in collaboration with Wedgwood. The beads are made of lathe-turned black basalt to create forms of spheres, hemispheres and cylinders, threaded onto silver with a drum-shaped silver fastener hallmarked WR. Lathe turning was part of the finishing process where the clay is dried until it is leather-hard and then, as the piece is turned on the lathe, the surface is shaped by removing clay with special tools. This technique was used for Wedgwood’s vases giving them their refined silhouettes.
