The Ocotillo Crown Necklace (AZ)
This STUNNER.
An exquisite central pendant, of Arizona Petrified Wood, in deep reds and black, in patterns remniscent of a fallen log in a forest, set in a serrated bezel. The stone cradled in a crown of ocotillo spikes, 7 thorns, emanating outward. On the reverse side of the pendant, I have fused sterling silver dust to replicate the texture of the sandstone of the landscape, my makers mark in the center. The whole piece given a patina to give it an antiqued, high contrast look.
Rests on a weighty 18” sterling silver wheat chain.

+ The Slow Ride Home Collection +
My way of processing grief has always been: nature + metal. So, after the passing of my truest companion, Monster Truck, I took the road home, slow. Savoring every new and old road and trail. Letting myself feel small, and connected, and changed, and inspired. I came home and immediately got to work processing that energy, and all of the elements of nature that moved me on the journey, into something tangible and beautiful to share with all of you. Turning nature into metal is the ultimate medicine, and it lets me turn my grief into a shining piece of treasure for others to hold, and that is truly *powerful*. I am thrilled to release this offering to you here, now.
The collection pays homage to the roads I traversed, from CA•NV•AZ•NM•TX - with stones, natural materials, and textures, found and collected in the piece's accompanying state. ✨
