Ancient Land Necklace
Necklace: responsibly sourced sterling silver, 8.3ct pipe opal from Winton (Queensland), sterling silver chain.
This necklace was especially created for display in the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery’s shop for the Linda Jackson: Opal exhibition. A retrospective exhibition of Linda Jackson’s “opal era,” this exhibition features a vivid collection of the famous Australian fashion designer’s iconic and colourful garments and textiles from the late 1970’s to the present.
In homage to Jackson’s elegant yet simple silhouettes as well as the wild, unique, and arresting aesthetic of opals, Malki Studio artist Ariella Anderson has streamlined the components of this necklace. Asymmetrical but harmonious, the necklace features a stunning Winton pipe opal set directly onto sterling silver. These components highlight the contrast between the gleaming white metal and the earthy and colourful gemstone, which displays an oceanic blue-green play of colour set against the dark and chocolatey body tones of the matrix. The necklace recalls the dramatic beauty of the Australian land and the importance of preserving its unique and precious resources.
