Description:
A talismanic pendant rooted in both alchemical symbolism and ancient goldsmithing tradition. At its core, a five-pointed celestial alignment emerges—granule-set tourmalines at the center forms a star. Each gemstone is locked in place not by prongs, but by hand-placed 20k gold granules, laser-welded one by one with reverence and precision—a modern invocation of classical granulation.
Framed in shakudo and sterling silver, the pendant’s reverse features star-set rubies and hand-engraved rays—hidden marks of protection, resurrection, and inner fire. The custom chain, forged from sterling and shakudo, is completed by a clasp adorned with four pyramid die-strikes—two in 14k gold, two in shakudo—representing elemental balance and the rise from base to noble.
This piece was neither designed by software nor cast from a mold. Every cut, every fuse, every finish was done by hand—a testament to a vanishing lineage of true goldsmithing.
