Mechanicals 14: Plum Obsession

There’s something irresistibly moody about this necklace — like a secret held too long, or a love letter never sent. The handmade plum heart gleams with a quiet intensity, sculpted in paper clay and painted by hand with layers of deep metallic pigment. Suspended inside a round antique brass bezel and sealed forever under crystal-clear resin, it feels like a relic from a parallel universe where romance is both armor and art.

This pendant is part of my Mechanicals collection, a series of one of a kind necklaces that often feature clock and watch gears, bits of salvaged history fused with hand sculpted hearts. While many of these pieces are perfect for Valentine’s Day, they’re designed to be worn year-round by those who know love isn’t limited to a season.
