'Diamond' Sapphire Pendant - Melanie Ihnen

Melanie Ihnen studied design at Newcastle TAFE and Jewellery and Object at Enmore Design Centre Sydney. She has since been a maker, teacher, curator and gallery director. Melanie has been teaching, exhibiting and practicing jewellery in Sydney for over 15 years and works in her Sydney studio, producing her hand made collections.

Influenced by geometric shapes, architecture and the subtle colour and tonal variations of metals, she employs the technique of Married metals, combining precious metals and gems. Her works are an exploration of technique and form, and each piece embodies clean lines and surfaces with an elegant and minimalist aesthetic.

This pendant is made of 18ct yellow gold, set with an Australian yellow-green parti sapphire 4mm in diameter. 18ct yellow gold wheat chain.

Pendant measures 22mmx11mm; chain length 42cm.
