FIRST PRIZE ROYAL EASTER SHOW 2010

Lucas Blacker’s most recent work of art has won first prize in the Handcrafted Silverware section at the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2010.

The sterling silver ‘cracked egg’ is detailed with an 18 carat yellow gold trim and has resulted from 150 hours of handcrafting and hand engraving.

The external surface motif is inspired by Celtic rope patterns and has been adapted into a geometric design, with no beginning or no end. Inside the egg, is a hand carved piece of lapis lazuli to act as a seat for the ring.

The ring mirrors, simply the innovative contemporary design of the "cracked egg". Sculpted to the contours of the finger, the ring gives an immediate sense of connection between it and the wearer.

The unique item of the ‘cracked egg’ and its housed ring provide a harmonious compilation, bridging Lucas’ ability to create jewellery and art.
