Oak and Water
Archive Entry
Description
A piece revealed as an early personal project of The Collector himself. The entire pendant was hand fabricated from silver sheet and wire. An engraved oak leaf takes up the majority of the piece, representing his original call to adventure. Below, a bezel-set Iolite symbolizes the cleansing power of rain - an agent of change, and the start of new things.
