delivered

the creation of this necklace felt like an epiphany of sorts. the design came to me in a dream and continued manifesting as i created it. there is something sacred about the frankincense beads i am working with. they are just so worthy of adoration. they remind me of raw diamonds and i have been treating them as such...and the bone bead is so pure, but carries with it an assymetric weight of observation...

in this piece the birdie messanger flies through the free-moving loop of hand hammered brass to deliver nuggets of frankincense resin, witnessed by a pearly bead of bone...hung on a long delicate antiqued brass chain 24 inches in length. closes with a brass lobster clasp.

<3 find it here on etsy.
