Description: |
“The first Salisbury
Cathedral was completed at Old Sarum in 1092 under Osmund,
the first Bishop of Salisbury. The Domesday Book is thought
to have been presented to William the Conqueror at Old Sarum
a few years earlier, in 1086. Disputes with the military and
scarce water supplies led to an alternative location being
sought and in 1220 a new site for the Cathedral was
consecrated at New Sarum.” This amazing and beautiful
Cathedral is located in Wiltshire, England and was the
inspiration for many books throughout the ages, notably Ken
Follett’s two books PILLARS OF THE EARTH, WORLD WITHOUT END,
and SARUM by Edward Rutherford. It is one of the most
beautiful example of Gothic architecture I have ever seen.
The arches seen in Gothic churches inspired this project.
The
components of this piece are made with variations of peyote
stitch to create the self supporting structure and frame the
set stones. The neck chain is done in chenille stitch to
compliment the pendant.
