This collar was created in homage to some of the first pieces I designed in the beginning of BloodMilk and is composed with the same life cast boa ribs used in those early pieces. These snake ribs have been used in other, countless pieces and in this way, this snake lives on through all those who have worn its silver ribs, I also like to think that everyone who wears its ribs is a tiny bit connected.
This design is meant to be a talisman of protection and features two of my most prominent symbols: snakes and tears. Just as the ribcage protects vital organs, such as the heart, these snake ribs are meant to be an additional layer of guardianship. Wear as a companion in times of grief, anxiety, or during other moments of turbulent emotion. It can also be worn as a travel talisman, for safety or luck while crossing thresholds away from home or while navigating spaces that feel unpleasant/unsafe.
Additionally, this jewel makes a wonderful frame for jewels worn above it. Layer it with other jewelry or wear it by itself for a bold statement piece.

Moonstone:
Moonstone is closely tied to the moon, with some cultures believing the stone is solidified moon rays, while others think of them as embodiments of the moon's tears. Acting as a kind of Psychic armor, it is thought to protect its wearer from not only dark nights, but dark times; it helps sooth grief, loss, and other emotional turbulence.
Moonstone is known for its powerful psychic abilities. Used to protect empaths & sensitives from absorbing other people's emotions, it is also is known to be used during meditation for connecting to ones inner selves. As a romantic stone, it is known to strengthen the bonds between lovers when given as gifts, especially during the full moon.
This jewel is hand cut and therefore may have small signs of the carver's hands. As this has not been fabricated by a machine, it has been made by hand and therefore isn't uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stone.
