Objects of Desire

Object I Wanna Be Yours pendants by Stephen Webster and John Cooper Clarke
£2,500
State your intentions with an 18 carat gold pendant declaring “I Wanna Be Yours”. It comes courtesy of jewellery designer Stephen Webster and literary legend John Cooper Clarke. Webster has been a fan of the poet since he shot to prominence in the 1970s, becoming one of the most prolific artists of the Punk years. The pair later became friends, with Cooper Clarke penning “Solid Gold Geezer” in Webster’s honour. The capsule collection of handcrafted pendants takes cues from Cooper Clarke’s famous poem “I Wanna Be Yours,” in which everyday objects are transformed into declarations of love. One-liner extracts are etched in coloured enamel on the pendants, which feature an A and B side, much like a vinyl record, and are suspended from a metal chain that gives a nod to Cooper Clarke’s trademark pocket watch, tucked into his pocket at all times.
