Agate Necklace by Marion Delarue

Necklace / Organic Abstract OnBody

Marion Delarue. Necklace: Agate Necklace, 2013. Porcelain, glass, glaze & chamotte fused at high temperature and polished.. 26 x 22 x 1 cmAgate Jewels series. From series: Agate Jewels series. On modelBy creating false agates, I can design geometrical shapes that cannot be found in nature, that can be worn directly without requiring any particular set or structure. The association of clay and glass seemed to me perfectly suited to my project since it allows me to recreate agates by imitating the natural process. Moreover, the clay brings to the piece the stability required to keep the pattern in place during the firing process and to keep the glass in place during its fusion, while the glass brings to the piece its shine and translucency. The ceramic and the glass thus blended also enable the feel and the weight of a natural agate. .
