Sometimes a piece goes on a whole journey before it knows what it really is and who its for. This started out as a ring! Well, the silver part of the pendulum did. The stone intended for it broke, so I pivoted and fitted it for this crystal. It lived as a pendant for a while, but wouldn’t sell. Eventually I realized that’s because it was ready to do some dowsing. Finally, here is the finished form (for now! Everything is recyclable, with sterling silver jewelry 😉). This sterling silver and lemurian crystal pendulum is available, a special one of a kind Altar Metals tool for divination. Have you ever dowsed to contact your higher self, nature spirits, ancestors, or goddesses? Let me know in the comments if you think this looks like a good tool for the job!

This piece was an honor to make for my friend and physical (metaphysical) trainer Seth Seth Budai | Spiritually Minded Personal Trainer. It was inspired by his mission to help others find their purpose in life through movement and alignment with their bodies and their higher selves. I cant recommend him enough for improving your relationship with your body and mind through movement and strength training. You can find him on youtube or if you’re lucky enough to be local to the Asheville area and visit his home gym.

I designed this pendant for him through an interview process, incorporating alchemy and ancient symbolism, and a bit of divination too. Contact me when you’re ready for your power piece.

Refined/rugged. Polished inside, smashed with an ancient hammer outside, then tumble polished. All hand forged from either recycled gold plated jewelry, fine silver scrap, and sterling silver scrap from my own studio.

Taxidermied cat feet, capped in bronze and silver like sacred rabbits’ feet! A dear friend let me make these end caps for her buddy Goose earlier this year! What an honor as always, to memorialize a loved one with metal. Customs open for memorial pieces, your imagination is the limit.

There’s a little girl named Helen who gave me this idea that has been in the back of my mind since thanksgiving… she and I were drawing and spelling words together and we came up with the phrase The I in the Hand… and today I found out I can still draw! I almost forgot about life drawing 😂
