Larkin let the stone take center stage on the front of this piece! The swooping sterling wires frame the petrified palm root beautifully while leaving the face mostly clear.
The black “sky” has faint swirls of what we believe to be opalized agate inclusions. Larkin topped the front with a custom, handmade bail featuring twinkling stars.
And the back! Not gonna lie, the back transports me straight to Lothlórien! 🧝♂️✨🍃The stone becomes a golden forest at night, with a hand fabricated moon nestled in the branches of a silver tree. That sweet little moon portends a new design to come. 😉
While Larkin prefers to work with stone we find, they came across a slab of Indonesian petrified palm root at a rock show and had to have it. Larkin noticed a small pockmark in the face of the stone that is barely visible with the naked eye-- the stone is so beautiful in its entirety that they included the imperfection rather than cut away the surrounding material. I circled the little divot in red in the final photo.
This piece is entirely hand fabricated from 0.925 sterling silver and stone.
