Tethys Pendant

Tethys: the Titaness of the sea. Ancient, generous, quietly vast.

Named for the primordial ocean goddess, Tethys is the most elemental piece in the collection. The 18-gauge copper form is dapped into a gentle curve, hand-pierced with a sea fan motif, and left in its natural state — no enamel, no patina, just worked metal. A crackle quartz bead, heat-treated to a warm amber-brown, hangs freely behind the cutouts, visible through the pierced voids. Suspended on an 18–22" stainless steel chain.
