"Whispers of Stone and Wire"

There is something about larvikite—its quiet, brooding depths, its silvery flashes like moonlight caught in ink-dark waters. I have always been drawn to materials that reveal themselves slowly, that do not beg for attention but command it in their own time. This particular piece of larvikite is one such keeper of secrets, a stone that hums rather then sings.

I chose copper to embrace it—not just as a setting but as a companion, a dance partner in an old waltz. The metal, warm and yielding, twists and curves around the stone as if it always belonged there, as if the two have known each other for centuries. I do not force the wire into place; rather, I listen. I let it tell me where it wishes to go, tracing arcs and spirals until the piece feels inevitable, as though it grew rather than was made.

To the one who will wear this pendant: may you find in it what you need—be it quiet strength, a reminder of resilience, or simply the pleasure of something thoughtfully wrought. Wear it not as an ornament but as a companion, a fragment of earth and fire shaped by human hands, meant to be worn, handled and lived with.
