LIFE'S PATH

LIFE'S PATH is a masterful pendant carved from a striking piece of New Zealand Marsden jade. This complex, free-form twist design exemplifies Kerry Thompson's ability to harmonise a demanding concept with the unique character of the stone.

As the smaller of a pair conceived for a couple, its flowing, interconnected curves are a direct representation of intimate bonds - a visual metaphor for the paths and relationships that intertwine to form a shared journey.

The substantial form carries both visual and physical weight, offering a sense of presence and permanence. Kerry's choice of a soft polish enhances the depth of the material, allowing the natural variation of Marsden jade - from deep nephrite greens to ethereal floral patterning - to emerge with subtlety and warmth.

LIFE'S PATH is a wearable sculpture: a bold, traditional statement refined through modern artistic vision, and a testament to connection carved in stone.

The shape is streamlined, gloriously curved and quite unique. Take a look at the video and you will appreciate the artistry of this beautiful piece.
