Chakte Viga (Orangeheart)

The wood is sustainably sourced, and the grain runs differently through every pair.

Two woods, one clean silhouette. I frame each cone-shaped drop in one hardwood and set a contrasting species down the center, so the grain lines meet and the color shifts where the two woods join.

A round wood pendant with a channel of crushed natural stone set into the face. Pick your wood and your stone, and it hangs on an adjustable sterling silver chain. It has the warmth of wood with a real gemstone at the center.

Materials and craft

I cut each pendant from solid hardwood, carve the inlay channel, and fill it with crushed natural stone, then sand it flush and finish it by hand. Turquoise and lapis lazuli read bold and blue; opal and mother of pearl catch the light softly; green tourmaline adds a deep, earthy green. Every pendant is finished with food-safe oil and beeswax and made in my one-person studio in Hamilton, Ohio.

A round wood medallion with an intricate peacock design engraved edge to edge, hung on a sterling silver chain. The pattern shows off the grain of each wood differently, so the same design looks new in every species.
