A very striking and modern piece, and may be worn with just about anything—from a t-shirt, to a cashmere turtleneck, to a silk v-neck dress—whatever you can imagine!
This piece is hand-carved and a hollow form. The carvings catch the light for some sparkle, and the concave shape in the middle of the pendant is very reflective. The weight of the piece is comfortable and maintains a satisfying substantiality.
The shield is approximately 3 inches long, half an inch wide, and about a half inch deep.
The carnelian in this pendant is very vibrant and translucent. I’ve created the piece so light can pass through the stone. The stone appears to change depending on the light — sometimes it looks like it’s on fire, and sometimes it looks like a hot coal. There is a small cloud in the stone as well, which makes the stone look almost stormy — if not smoldering.
It reminds me of the Tucson sun at dips over the mountains at dusk – just between the light switching from golds, to reds, to violet. A fleeting, magical time of day.
This a shadow box hollow body pendant using a hand-fabricated process. The pendant is one-of-a-kind. I have been having fun lately working with the almond/shield shape. The shape is very appealing on the wearer. It may be worn with a turtleneck, or a low-cut blouse or dress.
Carnelian is a good first (root) and second (sacral) chakra energizer – which means it is good for vitality, abundance, and libido. It is also said to help with creativity and is sometimes called “the artist’s stone”.
This pendant is a hollow form. It is about three inches long and half an inch thick. Both sides are rounded, one side with carvings, the other side is smooth. May be worn with the carvings in the front, or with the smooth side showing.
I prefer the carved side showing, so it is shown here with the carved side in the front.
While making this shield, I was focusing abundance and empowerment – and that is what this pendant represents.
