RACE DAY WHIMSY - A beautiful drop pendant, hand carved in New Zealand Marsden Jade.
Jen Hung captures the sartorial spectacle of the Melbourne Cup in this quirky, small-scale masterpiece. Taking inspiration from the city's famous race-day fashion, Jen has carved an entire story into this little pendant.
The piece is a study in contrast and composition. The main body, carved from a dark green jade, features a beautiful textured surface, mimicking the fine fabric of a designer dress. Perched above it is a delicate, pagoda-like hat carved from soft, pale green flower jade, adding a layer of whimsical elegance.
The two elements are connected by a spray of subtle colour... two distinct clusters of variably-hued Burmese stone beads. This vibrant collar serves as the functional heart of the design, the point where cord meets stone.
Gorgeously balanced and meticulously carved, this pendant is a celebration of quirky stories and superb artistry.
RACE DAY WHIMSY is provided with an adjustable olive/purple cord made by Jen. Take a moment to view the photos and video to appreciate this piece. The video is the best way to view the colour variation in the stone, the design and the superb craftsmanship.
RACE DAY WHIMSY is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch and delivery with express courier is included in the price.
