CHAPTER I
THE PENDULUM VESSELS
A small modern reliquary for a wish, a scent, a token meant to stay near.
Part jewelry, part secret.
MADE TO OPEN
Opening is a small, deliberate act.
The mechanism is 18k gold through and through, down to the button. Press it in, give it a quarter turn, and lift the top. A chain inside keeps the top with the vessel, so it is never set down or lost. Close it with the same turn and it locks secure.
for intention and memory
A SCULPTURAL LOCKET
A locket, to begin with. Then nothing like one. Each vessel is sculpted in the round and moves with you, a small pendulum made to be worn and touched often. Symbols and incantations mark the surfaces, visual spells drawn in line, scale, and repetition: each vessel a cosmology of its own. Inside, a chamber for what you choose to keep.
The idea is older than it looks. Centuries ago, vinaigrette jewelry held scent against the body. The vessels carry that lineage forward: each one opens to a chamber for a drop of perfume, a folded wish, a token that means more than it weighs.
The Love Spell
Hand-drawn symbols of desire in burgundy enamel, champagne diamonds worked through the gold. It reads like a tarot card: your own story completes it. First of a series of enameled pendulums.

The Aeon
A diamond serpent circles the vessel. Aeon is the old word for the vital force that moves through an age of a life.

So Mote It Be
The old sealing words spiral the gold: so it shall be. Other vessels hold the wish. This one holds the sealing of it.

Reverie
Stars in pavé on every face. A waking dream has no fixed direction, so neither does this pendulum.

The Wishkeeper
Every vessel here keeps a secret except this one. Pierced with plus signs in the old vinaigrette manner, The Wishkeeper carries what you want more of in open air. A wish has to breathe to come true.

WHAT TO PLACE INSIDE
You might tuck in a scented cloth or a drop of perfume oil, a tiny token or a folded keepsake, or a handwritten wish or blessing. A spark, a spell, your tiniest treasures. What it holds is yours alone.
signature pendulum chains
MADE FOR THE PENDULUMS
Three pendulum chains wear the vessels high, long, or as a lariat: a signature chain with a receiving point at its center, and two double-clip chains that open at both ends. The clips connect a vessel to a chain: to the center of the signature chain, or into the ends of a double-clip chain, which take a vessel directly as well. The enamel clip, the largest of the three, joins a vessel into the double clips. Everything works with everything else.
