Applegate Jade Night Magic

I was telling Larkin that their recent work has very wonderful witchy vibes. Lo and behold, at last weekend's market someone bought FIVE (!!) wraps... for their coven!

This latest applegate jade (bowenite) piece definitely has a similar feel. Larkin wove the base of the frame from copper, while the tree and ivy leaves are hand-sculpted from argentium silver. The whole piece was oxidized, then Larkin hand-polished the silver back to bright.

Larkin always complains about the "messy" finish on tree backs, but all those wires have to end somewhere!

This piece truly feels like a portal into a magical world! Measures 4.5 cm long and 3.8 cm at its widest point.
