Time is a Ghost. Necklace.

We are pleased to offer the first jewel in a new line based on Art Nouveau design, featuring a pendant inspired by a piece of jewelry from 1900, married to the planchette: a long time symbol of BloodMilk since I first began casting jewelry over fifteen years ago. Crafted in all sterling silver, the silver oval 'gemstone' is a also a throwback to some of my earliest jewels. The planchette was invented pre- Spirit board, in Paris in the 1850’s during the height of the Spiritualist era. Used as a means of automatic writing, they were much larger than today’s plastic ‘toy’ version. It was composed of a heart shaped piece of wood with a hole for a pencil at its point. Wheels enabled it to move the pencil around to write out messages channelled from beyond via a Medium ( or group of people at a Séance ) whose hands rested lightly on the planchette. Though hands were placed on the planchette, it was considered to be involuntary movement, movement by the spirits or some other unknowable force
