Object Crawling Spider Necklace by Sue Webster

£3500 ex VAT

Artist Sue Webster likes to imbue jewellery with a streak of danger. Wearers of her Crawling Spider Necklace for Lulu Guinness will have spiky silver arachnids chasing each other around their neck. The edition of 10 is part of her Spider Series, developed during the first few months of the Covid lockdown. With just toothpicks, a candle, a lighter and a pin as her tools, she fashioned wax models of spiders while her new-born baby Spider slept. These were later cast into a silver necklace, bracelet, rings and web pendants, bearing her typical punk sensibility.

‘I was confined in a sort of prison, but every artist imprisons themselves,’ she says of her lockdown experience. ‘I’ve always made something out of nothing. Give me some toothpicks and I’ll make my Matchstick Cathedral.’

The Crawling Spider Necklace will add a deliciously creepy edge to any outfit.
