About the Process

Each piece of Thicket jewelry begins with taking a mold of a found or foraged natural object. This mold is used in the process of lost wax casting to create a perfect replica, in solid fine metal, of the original natural object.

A note from Rebecca

Why metaphor?

Jewelry is not only adornment - it is symbolism. Jewelry can be a talisman, a reminder, a covenant, a spell.

Humans have been ascribing meaning to the natural world for a very long time. In selecting natural objects to cast I think not only about the form and aesthetics but also the valences of meaning the object holds and I include these in the description of each Thicket piece. Each of these metaphors is a beginning, waiting for you to layer your own meanings and stories onto.
