'Azura' · Bark collar necklace

£75.00

Hand-painted bark collar · cobalt blue, gold & black · one of a kind · five fans at the collarbone

This necklace began as a single fragment of fallen bark — collected from ancient woodland, cleaned, and prepared entirely by hand. The shape arrived as it is; nothing was cut or altered. Across its surface, five fan forms carry the painting: gold and white on the outer lobes, cobalt blue with gold at the centre, deep black and gold where they meet. Each form is slightly different. The bark shaped the composition; the paint followed what was already there.

Azura is named for the deep blue of an open sky — the colour that appears at the heart of this piece, unexpected and exact.

This is not a pendant. It sits at the collarbone like a landscape.

Details

  • Material: Reclaimed bark · acrylic paint · gold botanical motifs · UV resin seal

  • Size: 12 cm at longest point · 6 cm at widest · lightweight

  • Finish: Lightweight and sealed for durability · gold motifs sealed to prevent wear

  • Cord: Waxed leather cord included · gold-plated chain available (+£3)

  • Care: Avoid prolonged water exposure · wipe with a soft dry cloth

  • Origin: Tyntesfield woodland, North Somerset · National Trust estate · made by hand in Bristol, UK

What makes this piece yours

  • One of a kind: The natural grain and edge of the bark make this piece unrepeatable.

  • Found form: The five fan forms exist in the bark itself — the painting follows what was already there.

  • Contrast: Raw, textured bark against hand-applied gold creates something that feels both ancient and refined.

Packaging
Each piece arrives in a hand-painted jewellery box with a hand-drawn ACEO illustration from the artist, a note on the bark's origin and the story of the piece, hand-signed and with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Each work in the Bark & Grain series carries one name. The bark is real — not cast, not replicated, not recreated. A two-hundred-year-old pine shaped it. Collected, restored, and painted — one brushstroke at a time — until its story surfaced. None of it can be repeated. One piece. Forever.
