Turquoise Arborvitae Burst Biophilia Necklace

Unique and a true statement piece, this one-of-a-kind necklace features Stone Mountain Turquoise surrounded by a radiance of textured silver. Crafted and set in recycled sterling silver on an 18" long chain. The Arborvitae detailing is handcrafted using recycled sterling silver metal clay made using the impression of arborvitae leaves found growing in my yard. . Inspired by the yearning to be closer and connected to the natural world, The Biophilia Collection is crafted from organic components found in the Maryland mountainside  and hand cast in my home studio using recycled sterling silver and copper metal clay.  Locally scavenged seeds, needles, leaves, fungus, branches and bark are the inspiration and forms for these whimsical pieces. I hope they allow you to feel closer to nature even when you are unable to immerse yourself in its wonders.
