The Seed of Sovereignty

When Persephone reached for the pomegranate, she did not just accept a fate; she claimed her throne. This piece captures the raw, untamed threshold where the roots of the earth meet the underworld. It is a token for those who find their true strength in the shadows, proving that even a descent can be the beginning of a reign.

An extraordinary artisan collaboration with Diana Paul of Diana Paul Studios, this Sticks & Stones statement talisman is a wearable monument to the passion and resilience of the natural world.

Featuring a raw Quartz crystal nestled within the eternalized copper embrace of real boxwood branches, this piece is richly detailed with inset garnets along the wood’s bark. The pendant hangs from a luxurious 24-inch, hand-knotted silk strand of micro-faceted garnet beads, accented with lustrous dark pearls and a cornflower blue sapphire. Handcrafted in Southern California, this one-of-a-kind creation is the ultimate fusion of fine beadwork and Modern Alchemy.

Description

The Seed of Sovereignty

This statement necklace marks the grand finale of the Sticks & Stones boxwood collection ~ a collaborative vision between two master jewelry artisans Therese Rigdon & Diana Paul, bridging the realm of raw botanical life and high-vibrational talismanic art.

At the base of the piece, real boxwood branches have been eternalized in pure copper through the slow, atom-by-atom transformation of the electrocauldron. The natural bark texture creates an architectural cradle for a glowing, raw Quartz crystal point, while brilliant garnet gems appear to bloom directly from the metallic wood.

The Crimson Cathedral

Designed as a dramatic statement piece celebrating vitality, passion, and personal sovereignty:

Clear Quartz: Celebrated in studio lore for reflecting pure light, clarity, and creative vision.

Garnet: A rich gem of elemental fire and devotion, deep red garnet is historically revered as a symbol of enduring passion, strength, and inner resolve.

Sapphire & Pearl: Set along the hand-knotted silk strand, the cool wisdom of blue sapphire and the organic fluidity of dark pearls complement the fiery depth of the garnet.

  • Wearer’s Note: As this piece contains real organic materials preserved in pure copper, it should be treated as a sacred heirloom and worn with mindful care.

 

Elemental Copper: Renowned as an ancient conductor of elemental energy, copper has long been associated with Hermes, the mythical messenger of mental agility and focus. In studio tradition and metal lore, copper is prized for its ability to amplify intention, harmonize materials, and reflect a warm, timeless antique patina.

Artisan Care: Natural crystals and organic elements (such as real acorns, boxwood twigs, and sea shells) are delicate treasures of the earth and should be worn with gentle care.

The Electroforming Process: Each piece is created using electroforming – an intricate process of controlling an electrically charged bath to slowly deposit thin layers of pure copper onto a conductive surface. Deposited layer upon layer over 12 to 24 hours (with the total artisan process spanning several days!), this technique creates a durable, uniquely textured metal sculpture around each stone.

Understanding & Caring for Copper:
How to enjoy wearing it and making Copper your FAVORITE jewelry metal!!
Copper Characteristics:
Copper is a pure elemental metal, CU on the periodic table. Like sterling silver, copper naturally oxidizes and darkens when exposed to air, sunlight, humidity, cosmetics, or lotions. Oxidation happens even more quickly in the presence of sunlight, sweat, chlorine (swimming pools), chemicals and cosmetics.

Daily Wear Tip: To preserve your piece’s finish, remove jewelry before bathing, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions and perfumes. Keep your jewelry clean and dry.
If you prefer the “aged” look that oxidation naturally gives copper, we recommend cleaning your jewelry with a bit of mild dish soap in warm water. You can use a soft bristle brush when necessary.

Cleaning & Maintenance:

For an Aged/Vintage Patina: Clean gently with mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft bristle brush when needed.

For a Bright/Polished Look: Polish gently with a soft jewelry polishing cloth. *(Note: Avoid harsh chemical dips or vinegar solutions on pieces with delicate gemstones or hand-applied patinas).
