The Grace Pendant is a timeless reminder of the strength found in imperfection. I created this pendant as an ode to one of my favorite designers, Elsa Peretti. I appreciate her clean lines and playful organic silhouettes.
 
I made this in the studio with my teacher from a lost wax I carved. 
When it was time to take it out from the mold, we discovered the sentiment had not set up properly, this happens sometimes. He was very apologetic saying we could try to cast it again. I told him that I LOVED it – in fact I loved it so much more because it has this small crack in it – a sign to me that its beauty was in its imperfection - it made it even more unique. 
 
Our uniqueness coms from our strife and hardship and often this makes us even more who we are and what makes us truly unique. I knew I wanted to keep it. I made a few duplicates and sold them all when I did a few in person pop-ups. 
I now am able to reproduce this stunning pendant with my classic gold-filled base and plating for durability as accessibility. I hope you wear this an remember our flaws are not flaws but are our superpower and is what makes us unique ourselves - we need to accept our imperfections with Grace, and this is what makes us uniquely ourselves.
I look at this pendant as a symbol of resilience and individuality, it serves as a tribute to the cracks that actually make us whole.
