Richmond Sterling Silver Pendant

Richmond - Sterling Silver Pendant

My Inspiration: Australia's oldest heritage bridge in historic Richmond, Tasmania

My Inspiration Story

Walking through the charming historic town of Richmond, Tasmania, I was captivated by Australia's oldest heritage-listed bridge, built in 1825. This magnificent stone structure has witnessed nearly two centuries of Australian history, standing proudly over the Coal River. The weathered brown tones of the ancient stonework, contrasted against the vibrant green grass of the surrounding countryside, created such a striking visual that I knew it had to be captured in silver and stone.

Exquisite Features:

• Handcrafted Excellence - Sterling silver using traditional sandcasting method
• Queensland Brown/Green Sapphire - Natural Rough gemstone reflecting the bridge's weathered stone and surrounding grasslands
• Perfect Proportions - 2.2cm length x 2cm width for elegant presence
• Complete Set - Includes striking 55cm steel black box chain
• Organic Design - Sandcast method creates naturally flowing, stone-like textures
• Heritage Inspired - Celebrating Australia's oldest bridge and Tasmanian history

Just as Richmond's historic bridge has endured through time, connecting past and present, this pendant carries that same timeless quality.

Brown and green sapphires symbolize grounding, stability, and connection to the earth - making this pendant not just beautiful jewellery, but a meaningful talisman that carries the enduring strength and historical significance of Australia's oldest bridge.
