This unique necklace features aspen rounds from my home state of Colorado. The wood was gathered in a space that I often went to reflect on nature— and my place in it. It boasts a beautiful inlay of R. chrysoleuca (rockbright) lichen from Colorado and is tied together with light turquoise antiqued silk stitching. For me, the stitching is a way of piecing together my experiences in the natural world—of inserting myself into an ancient place and process.

This pendant measures 1 1/2” at its widest points and hangs from 17” of doubled navy blue waxed linen cord. It secures with a nickel-free stainless steel lobster clasp.
