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.  

*Details* :

- Just over 4 1/2 inches from top of snake ribs to bottom of stone

- 86mm wide  

- Both pendant and chain are hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath

- Set with one 15 x 26 mm fine cut pear lavender quartz stone

Lavender Quartz

***Please note that while Lavender Quartz can traditionally range in color from pink to deeper shades of lavender, our offerings for this jewel are all a pale, ghostly lavender. 

Lavender quartz is a rare form of quartz found in one location in Brazil. Much like Rose Quartz, it can be used as an emotional ally, helpful in heartache or times of crisis as a comfort to the emotional body. It is also known to aid those who struggle with anxiety as a calming influence.  

These Lavender Quartz are hand/shaped cut and therefore may have slight differences in size as well as small signs of the carver's hands along the edges. As these are hand cut and not fabricated by a machine, they can never be uniformly perfect. The photographs accurately portray the quality of the stones and the cuts.
