Welcome to the first instalment of our blog series, "Behind the Designs" where we delve into the inspirations and stories behind Caroline's stunning creations. Today, we're shining the spotlight on one of our show-stopping pieces: the Wildebeest Sterling Silver Necklace, as seen on Wolf & Badger.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, our Wildebeest Necklace is a true testament to Caroline's passion for blending artistry with wearable elegance. The wildebeest skull, cast in high-quality sterling silver, commands attention with its striking presence. Each intricately carved horn boasts eye-catching detail, while contrasting colours add remarkable highlights, making this necklace a real head-turner.

But what drives Caroline's designs? What sparks the creativity behind such captivating pieces? The answer lies in a blend of personal experiences and a deep-rooted appreciation for the natural world.

Caroline's journey to designing the Wildebeest Necklace traces back to her early twenties, when she embarked on a transformative trip to Uganda. Immersed in the breath taking landscapes and diverse wildlife, she found herself captivated by the raw beauty of the African wilderness. It was here that the seed of inspiration was planted, igniting her imagination and leaving an indelible mark on her artistic vision.

Moreover, Caroline draws inspiration from the legendary Sir David Attenborough's documentaries, which have long been a source of wonder and fascination. His unparalleled ability to capture the essence of nature's wonders resonates deeply with Caroline, infusing her designs with a sense of awe and reverence for the world around us.

For Caroline, the allure of the wildebeest skull lies not only in its tactile structure but also in the powerful imagery it evokes. The lines and contours of the skull, imbued with a sense of strength and resilience, speak volumes about the indomitable spirit of the wild. It's this juxtaposition of beauty and rawness that Caroline seeks to capture in this design – a delicate balance between elegance and primal energy.

What truly sets Caroline's designs apart is her ability to create pieces that transcend mere decoration, weaving stories and memories into wearable art. With the Wildebeest Necklace, she invites wearers to embark on a journey of imagination and exploration, where each glance serves as a reminder of distant landscapes and untamed beauty.

And it's not just about aesthetics – Caroline believes in creating jewellery that resonates on a deeper level, sparking emotions and igniting the imagination. Whether worn by men or women, the Wildebeest Necklace exudes a magnetic allure, drawing admirers into its orbit with its undeniable charm and allure.
