a bastard sword of simple design and purpose, showing us the difference between fantasy and reality, gifting the rational spirit the ability to pierce illusion. a steady eye will lead the singular purpose through life's changing fortunes and enable us to sheer away that which would cloud the correct path.
the peacemaker is inspired by the ace of swords.
this sword is hand forged and fabricated from hilt to tip from sterling silver and hand carved ebony. every part is handmade and bears marks of that process.
olive wood is a hardwood, it is viewed as a symbol of perseverance, peace, and growth.
this sword can be worn pinned to clothing or as a pendant. the handmade pin backing leaves room to also act as a bale giving this piece more diversity for styling.
the wood hilt is finished with locally sourced beeswax wood polish then fixed in place with jeweller's epoxy.
the swords should never come into contact with water. these pieces are delicate in nature and should not be crushed or treated in a rough way. try to avoid handling them by the wooden parts to ensure the epoxy is left undisturbed, ensuring a long life.
swords should also never be left in the sun to avoid bleaching the natural wood.
sterling silver will tarnish over time. this piece should not be dipped in silver polish of any kind. a silver polishing cloth can gently remove any tarnish on the silver components.
