This stunningly intricate gold Time Team Pendant Necklace design has been developed exclusively for Time Team as part of our newest luxury jewellery collection.

Inspired by the well loved and iconic Time Team logo featuring the side profiles of 3 figures facing the rays of the sun encapsulated in a gold circular band, this 14K gold plated pendant and chain is truly intricate, and is presented in a beautiful embossed gift box and Time Team cotton gift bag.

This pendant design was developed by creating a digital model inspired by the original logo, which is then 3D printed in wax and cast in metal using cutting edge technology that ensures a high quality finish and intricacy of detail that would otherwise be impossible to achieve at this scale.

Created by professional jewellery designer Kimberly Falk, founder of the popular Jewellery brand Ontogenie, who's work specialises in designs that relate to palaeontology, archaeology and scientific themes, this piece is truly unique and it's fair to say we adore it!

Meet The Maker:

Kimberly Falk founded Ontogenie, a jewelry brand inspired by science and nature, in 2014. After many years of postdoctoral research studying organisms from plants to locusts, Kimberly used her scientific background to create jewelry inspired by scientific discovery, research organisms, and scientists themselves.

Most artists start with a pencil sketch, but Kimberly uses reference photos to create a three-dimensional shape in her mind and then digitally sculpts this form using computer animation software. Her files are sent to a company that 3D prints the designs in wax and casts them in precious metals. The advantage of 3D printing for jewelry design is that intricate details can be achieved that are not possible by traditional wax carving. This resolution allows for the accurate interpretation of biological organisms as jewelry.

There are over 200 designs in her collections, encompassing biology, paleontology, archaeology, geology, and other sciences. With millions of species on earth, it’s unlikely she will run low on inspiration any time soon. 

Kimberly grew up in Spokane, Washington, USA, attended Washington State University and the University of Idaho, and earned her PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. She moved to the university town of Jena, Germany in 1997. She is married to a scientist, has two genius daughters and two feisty cats, and hikes the hills around Jena when she needs to clear her head and observe nature in real life instead of virtually.
