PATH OF LIFE

PATH OF LIFE - a gorgeous pendant, carved in a dark green New Zealand Pounamu. Artist: Kerry Thompson

THE PARTNER - carved as the commanding counterpart to its smaller twin, this pendant completes the pair Kerry Thompson conceived as a testament to partnership. Reversing the intricate, free-form twist design in a considerably larger scale, this piece is crafted from an equally stunning specimen of New Zealand Marsden jade.

The shared design language of interconnected, flowing curves creates an immediate visual dialogue between the two pendants. While the smaller piece suggests an intimate bond, this larger iteration expands upon that narrative, representing the strength and protective embrace of a shared life.

The masterful carving ensures that, despite its greater size and substance, the piece retains a perfect, harmonious balance and a profound visual appeal.

The same soft polish reveals the deep, swirling patterns of the Marsden jade, its substantial weight conveying permanence and gravitas. Together, they form a silent conversation in stone - two distinct individuals whose journeys are inextricably and beautifully linked.

Take a look at the brief video we have made of this piece slowly revolving - the carved slots on the front and back present variations in design depending on your angle of view and the way the light plays across the carved surfaces - a little masterwork!
