Lost in Space;<\/strong> Sterling silver, copper, Norwegian Moonstone Jasper, lab ruby<\/p>\n

\nThe four cabs are set in bezels on each side.\u00a0 The stones are Norwegian moonstone, which is actually a type of jasper.\u00a0 Besides its cool cosmic name \u201cmoonstone,\u201d it has a Northern European country in its name, which brings to mind stories of Valhalla, gods and goddesses, and ancient stories.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve done a few other pieces, lately, using this Lost in Space theme.\u00a0 I like the idea of using negative space in a hollow formed piece, and I like the play on the spiraling space ship with it.\u00a0 Personally, I have never been lost, as far as not knowing where I was type of lost.\u00a0 I am usually of the mindset that I am right here; therefore, how can I not know where I am?\u00a0 But, at times I have been in situations where I don\u2019t know what exactly is expected of me.\u00a0 Most of us have heard of being lost in love, lost in circumstance, or lost in translation.\u00a0 At times in my life I have questioned my own decisions, wondering where it will lead me.\u00a0 In previous works, I have used the symbol that I call the rocketfish to create metaphors about travel or sojourns.\u00a0 So, it only seemed natural that I use the symbol with this idea.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

I created this one with the idea of using a leather strap to tie the piece around the neck.\u00a0 I think that seeing the bow of leather on the back of the neck is sexy.\u00a0 But, my girlfriend and marketing expert made me question how I should finish this one off.\u00a0 I tried beads and a few different styles of hand-made chains, but I kept falling back on my original idea.\u00a0 If someone wants to change the way it is hung, they are perfectly welcome to do so, but the way the design works now has more of a unique look with the combination of hinged metalworks and primitive leather.\u00a0 And, if someone should be opposed to leather for some reason, I have a silk cord that can be used as well.<\/p>\n

If the concept of \u201cLost in Space\u201d has a different connotation to you, please share.\u00a0 Or, let me know what you think.\u00a0 I hope you enjoyed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
