No. 32 – The Verdant Heart – 16" Necklace

A one-of-a-kind necklace that belongs to the forest — rooted, layered, and quietly alive with the deep green energy of the natural world at its most lush.

The strand is a study in green: deep emerald jade rounds, saturated and glassy, anchor the lower section with imperial weight and colour. Pale green serpentine rounds lighten the palette mid-strand, and frosted white moonstone or amazonite rounds introduce a luminous coolness that lifts the whole composition. A single pink rose quartz bead appears like a wildflower in a moss bed — unexpected, soft, and perfect. Ornate gold and green cloisonné accent beads and silver filigree barrels add artisan detail and warmth throughout.

The pendant is extraordinary: a large dark green malachite or nephrite jade cabochon, richly coloured and deeply natural, cradled in an elaborate antiqued copper wire wrap of exceptional craft. The wirework spirals and scrolls around the stone in organic leaf and tendril forms — as though the forest itself has grown up around the stone to hold it in place. It is the kind of pendant that takes your breath away the first time you see it, and continues to reveal new details every time after.

Photographed on a mossy green stone in the middle of a woodland floor, surrounded by acorn caps, dried ferns, and living moss — the most honest setting possible for a piece this deeply connected to the earth.

Impression: Rooted, wild, and deeply beautiful. The Verdant Heart is for the woman who has always felt most herself when surrounded by trees.
