Entry Description

The ‘Man in a Cage’ pendant is our signature statement piece for Saxons Of Oxford: a micro-machined marvel from a solid block of 925 sterling silver and completed with an impeccable high polish finish and intricacy.

The Man in a Cage is typical of any intricate piece of jewellery in that the process of its creation involved a number of trials and tribulations. The desired precision and underlying quality meant that many imperfect prototypes did not make the final grade. No traditional jewellery-making process proved adequate for the intended quality and detail, so this is where the typical process ends for Man in a Cage. Its design was a complex blend of digital precision, blending with a modern manufacturing process and more than a little old fashioned workmanship.
As a statement piece, the message contained within is up for anyone's own interpretation. Aren't we all caged, one way or another?
