About This Design

It’s easy to forget that amongst all the hardships of life at Port Arthur, everyday life still had its own place. In the Commandant’s Cottage on the hill overlooking the historic site, there is a great collection of items from the families who lived and worked there. One thing which grabbed my attention in particular was the intricate details of a plate used by the Commandant’s family. I thought it was a great example of people looking for the small but important pieces of beauty in an otherwise quite grim and hostile environment.

Details

  • This pendant/necklace is handmade in Tasmania from sustainably sourced bamboo, recycled silver and glass.
  • This unique design was created from our photograph of an antique decorative plate in the Commandant's House, at the Port Arthur Historic Site (Tasmania, Australia)
  • The waxed cotton cord has been finished with sliding knots so the piece can be worn at different lengths in order to suit the neckline of your garment. Colours vary between light brown and black depending on the design selected. If you have a preference, this request can be made at the checkout in the notes section.
  • Size: Diameter: 42 mm, Thickness: 4 mm
  • Comes in a beautiful gift box
  • We also have other matching pieces in this Plate At Commandant's House design to create a lovely set, or if you prefer a different style.

Jewellery Care

We have carefully sealed the front and back of the image to ensure that it is water resistant. It will be OK if you get caught in the rain, but please avoid submerging it when swimming or bathing. Regular cleaning with a silver cloth will keep the pinch bail nice and shiny.
