The Palo Duro Necklace (TX)
A central pendant, a solid fine silver, hand made life cast scene of desert cedar branches (one of the hard woods the canyon is named after). A sterling silver oval back piece, connected by two jump rings, hangs a piece of beautiful bold Red Jasper with black markings, an ode to the red canyon walls. The movement of the pieces to remind us to just keep moving. The whole piece given a patina to give it an antiqued, high contrast look, my maker's mark on the reverse of the cedar pendant.
Rests on a 24” sterling silver snake 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. ✨
