Mechanicals 20: Scarlet Under Pressure

At the heart of this piece lies contradiction, the kind that defines so many of us. A vibrant scarlet heart, handmade from paper clay and painted with metallic hues, beats visibly within the confines of a weathered, industrial clock gear. Encased in a clear resin and framed in a diamond-shaped antique brass bezel, this necklace speaks to the beauty of pressure—how time, grit, and wear shape the strongest, most vibrant parts of who we are.

DETAILS: Deep plum metallic hand sculpted heart inside of an antique brass clock gear housing, set in an antique brass mixed metal bezel with resin

SIZE: 1¾ x 1¾ inches (4.5x 4.5 cm) on a 22 inch (56cm) antique brass mixed metal chain with lobster clasp closure
