NATURAL HISTORY

Quercus rubra

Red Oaks are native to North America and can be found from Nova Scotia to Georgia and as far west as Oklahoma. In the fall the leaves turn deep red.

METAPHOR

Determination and new beginnings. The feeling of stopping during a walk to lean against a tree and listen.
  • acorn pendant is approximately .71 x .39 inches | 18 x 10 mm
  • 1.5 mm sterling silver cable chain with lobster clasp
  • available chain lengths: 18 / 24 / 32 inches | 45.7 / 61.0 / 81.3 centimeters

A note about plating: Thicket jewelry is intentionally crafted from solid fine metal for quality and longevity. The only place you will find plating is on interior hollows, like in this piece, that are protected from wear and will stand the test of time.

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.
