TIDAL CRESCENT - A gorgeous half-shield shaped pendant, carved from a piece of New Zealand Marsden Jade, Pounamu. Hand carved by Ric Moor.
TIDAL CRESCENT - we love the jade, the carving and the exquisite craftsmanship! A stunning work of Art to Wear!
Rooted in the ethos of shielding and safeguarding, TIDAL CRESCENT serves as a talisman of protection, grounding its wearer with strength and balance. This piece is not merely ornamental, it is a powerful emblem of defence and safety, crafted to inspire and protect in equal measure.
TIDAL CRESCENT reversed - the backside is a gorgeous mix of deep green colours with paler inclusions, polished to a satin sheen. A wonderful display of New Zealand pounamu.
We bound this with a black cord and a golden ridge binding - doesn't this look like the sun brushing a mountain gully?
Much like us, each piece of Pounamu has its' own 'DNA', its' own structure and special features that make it unique. This provides challenges, and opportunities for the carver. This is where the artists' creativity must be matched with a technical carving skill - wonderfully achieved by Ric Moor in this piece...
We will ship this pendant to you with Express Courier on a hand plaited, adjustable cord.
