Product Details: A soulful talisman honoring love, place, and belonging.
Designed as a cherished talisman, this jewel takes the form of a compass, reflecting our paths and the invisible thread that effortlessly connect us to places that hold our hearts when there is more than one place that feels like home.
Hand-carved in wax and cast in lightly brushed oxidized silver with a warm 18k yellow Fairmined gold center, this versatile piece transforms from pendant to brooch—allowing its wearer to carry their story close, worn over the heart or pinned as a statement.
At its center glows a 5mm round Lightning Ridge Australian opal, framed by an 18k yellow Fairmined gold bezel with dots inspired by the eucalyptus flower blooming across the Australian Outback. A 5x3mm pear-shaped Lightning Ridge opal, two 4x2mm blue marquise Australian sapphires, and two 4x2mm round green Australian sapphires evoke the icy alpine lakes and evergreen forests of Colorado—where love and memory now meet.
Responsibly handcrafted in NYC.
One-of-a-kind.
