Eredh - Elven inspired art jewelry

Eredh means 'Seed' in Tolkien's language of the Elves.

I can see seeds of beauty such as this, growing in the trees in Lothlorien. As such, I tried to construct the 'seed' as I would imagine it, cradled in its pod. Other smaller, but no less beautiful, seedlings, vines and leaves link this magical pod to the mother tree. There it stays for now, awaiting its time to burst out of its cradle to create new life on the grounds of Lothlorien ...

 

The Ocean Jasper or Orbicular Jasper can only be found on the Northwest Coast of Madagascar, and only mined during low tide. It is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful stones in the mineral kingdom, where its beauty is truly nature's work of art. This stone, also known as the Atlantis Stone, is said to bring strength and renewal in one's life, alleviates stress and anxiety, and finally ushering in joy, positivity and light.

 

I am once again able to work my unconventional way of stone setting into this piece, and am totally delighted with the result. Other material used in this piece : copper sheeting, copper and brass wires, brass chains, paper, paint, patina, resin, clay, copper and brass tone findings, and a variety of jasper, quartz, glass and mother of pearl beads.

 

* this piece wears 18 inches round the neck (if you need it longer, please message me after purchase)

* the pendant is 3 inches from the bail to end.

* the focal stone has been lifted slightly to create more height
