Necklaces

Serenity is an internal state of feeling calm, peaceful and untroubled.  Different places or environments can help inspire us to feel this way or create this feeling  but its really an inside job.  Its a choice and an opportunity that shows up over and over again.  

There is a lot of attention right now on creating happiness in our lives which is great but sometimes feels like a lot of pressure to feel positive, joyful and grateful all the time.  I have been focusing on creating serenity instead because it encourages reflection, quiet and stillness which allows me to stay very present; in both the celebratory moments AND in the challenging ones.  

The subtle texture and shape of this design has reminded me of what's available to chose at any moment.  Whether sitting in LA traffic or strolling in a peaceful garden, our internal state is ours to create.

Originally handmade by building up hot wax drip by drip until you have a general overall shape, then carving and sanding the piece into its final design with unique textures or intricate details. The wax model goes through a casting process called "lost wax" in which you end up with an exact replica in solid sterling silver or 14K Gold and then hand finished. 

Each piece is a little bit different from the others.  The product you receive will vary slightly from the image shown.  All designs are made in small batches for limited time frames.

As an introvert, I have found it easy to isolate myself or try to figure too many things out on my own.  While its important to honor inner strength and wisdom, there is something nourishing about having connection with others.  Sometimes this connection is immediate or "familiar" and other relationships can take time to develop.  

The textured elements of this design remind me of the layers we peel back, the trust that is built and the energies that are woven when creating and maintaining connections with others.  I wear this piece to remind myself to stay open and connected with people who matter the most to me.

Sometimes when we are asking for help in life, the guidance we receive is subtle and gentle. Its in a compliment from someone, an email subject line or a simple perspective shift. The shape and slight curve of this pendant represents this. 

It reminds me that guidance is not always the loud booming voice or the dream that wakes you up in the middle of the night that we expect it to be.  Sometimes its right in front of us if we are open and paying attention.  Wearing this piece helps me to stay calm and receptive when I am asking for guidance.

Intuition can be subtle or strong; felt somewhere in the body, heart or spirit. The ability to bridge the gap between the unconscious and conscious parts of our minds; between instinct and reason feels mysterious but is available to us every day. 

Knowing something without needing analytic reasoning can be tricky and easy to second guess.  Sometimes I struggle with trusting my intuition even though it never fails me.  This necklace design is meant to represent how intuition can be subtle and sometimes delicate but also brings out our unique strengths and sparkle.

Originally handmade using the ancient “lost wax” technique.  Each pendant is freeform created in wax by using a variety of metal tools, heat and patience. The designs are built up little by little then carved, sanded and finalized with unique textures or intricate details. A plaster mold is made around the wax models, the wax is melted and the negative space is filled with liquid metal; creating an exact replica in sterling silver or 14K gold.

Each piece is a little bit different from the others because they are all individually created.  The product you receive will vary slightly from the image shown.  All designs are made in small batches for limited time frames.
