Title: On What Refuses to Break

This pendant was made in the pauses of a day, in spaces where thought wanders and hand rememmbers what the mind forgets. Copper teaches patience. It yields, but only after resistance. It marks every hesitation, every return, every small correction. I like that nothing here pretends to be inevitable.
The red jasper came already written. I do not believe in perfect stones. Perfection is mute. What holds my attention are fractures that did not finish their work. This stone carries a line not division, but threshold. narrow passage where quartz gathers quietly, glistening like something overheard rather than announced. Copper does not sever it. It bends. It listens. It contains.
As an artist, I have always been drawn to asymmetry, to inclusions, to refusal of uniform colour. These are not accidents; they are memory. When you look into this stone, inclusions unfold slowly, like a curtain drawn back not to reveal spectacle, but intimacy, small brightness concealed inside matter that has learned endurance.
wire follows the logic of restraint. Each curve is placed, not embellished. I wanted the piece to feel held rather than decorated. Copper warms against body. Jasper anchors. The wearer does not carry the pendant; the pendant setles, as if it had been waiting.
This is not ornament as distraction.
It is form as witness.
A reminder that what contains us is often shaped by the same force that once tried to undo us.
One piece. Unrepeatable.
Made with attention, not certainty.
