My name is Silvia Marzucchi and I am the designer. I’ve been into jewelry for 20 years, 6 of which selling Venetian glass jewelry on market stalls in London. When I moved back to Italy, I had a shop for accessories and started creating jewels for my own shop. After a while I decided to master the soldering techniques following Internet tutorials. This changed everything – I was finally free to create what I had in mind in endless shapes and forms.
I hold a First Class degree in IT at the Middlesex University in London. This has nothing to do with what I'm doing now, but it could be an inspiration to everyone who are still looking for their "element" – anything is possible. I’m thankful to all my customers who enjoy my creations and support me in this adventure.

 This sterling silver anchor necklace is my tribute to the sea and to my water Star Sign: Pisces.
Hand-forged using sterling silver wire, this pendant necklace is for all the sea lovers, and for those who feels like sailors that face the storms of life, to conquer quieter waters.
This is the children song I had in my head while I was making this piece “The sailor went to sea sea sea, to see what he could see see see....”, and I'm pretty sure it will be in your head for quite some time now :-)

CARING FOR STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver jewellery, if not worn for long periods of time, may develop a patina, which can be easily removed with a silver polishing cloth, available in all diy stores.
If you want to “do it yourself”, here's a way:
***wet the silver piece in water, apply a small amount of fluoride toothpaste on the silver.
Rub the toothpaste into the silver slowly, keeping it wet. Rub it until the toothpaste turns into a greysh dark colour.
Let it sit for about 2 minutes.
Wash away the toothpaste.
The silver will show immediate improvement***
+++The oxidized black finish is not permanent.+++
It will naturally start to fade over time with wear and handling, enriching the piece with a unique antiqued finish.
