[sterling, copper & enamel]

I finished the bulk of this neckpiece a few months ago but felt the blossom needed a little more oomph so I added one more layer of petals and enameled this portion of the flower a gorgeous teal blue.  Now the piece has the perfect amount of zing, just in time for spring.  Oh!  Look at that!  What a nice rhyme.

These neckpieces are a continuation of the cairn series I’ve been working on — they’re really all about color and form.  The enamel in both of these pieces is so nuanced, each stone is transformed by different kinds of light which reminds me very much of wet stones beneath lake or river water.  Complex and divine, so simple when lifted up and out of the water into the thinness of air.  They wear beautifully, are quite minimal and the chosen colors make for a very nature inspired racket around the neck.  They’re going to be a pain to photograph but I love them for what they are.

So, someone tried to turn your heart to stone.  Here’s a place to come in and get warm.

This is enfolding.
