This delicate, asymmetrical necklace incorporates a bramble from a Carolina Rose into the cleverly balanced chain. The recycled sterling silver chain carefully balances a section of 1.1 mm cable with 1.5 mm cable to help keep the bramble falling at just the right, perfectly-off-center, spot. The different scales of chain also add texture and visual interest to the deceivingly simple outline.

NATURAL HISTORY

Rosa carolina

The carolina rose, also known as prairie rose and pasture rose, is native to North America and grows throughout the continental United States in dry prairies, open woods and thickets. It is now often cultivated. It blooms with fragrant, light pink flowers in May and June that bees love. Later in the summer it yields edible rose hips.

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.
