Large Brass Pendules suspended by Dragon skin Turquoise

Over the years I have amassed a decent amount of brass cast elements and cut shapes that I keep on one of my designing-tables, along with various gemstones and bits and beads, and I'm always tinkering with them as I pass through the rooms of the studio, moving this element to here and that one to there, finding inspiration with one piece and then combining it with something else that I really like. The table almost looks like a mozaic itself through this process, and every once in a while, like right now, I find that I have several cohesive ideas that can be turned into a beautiful (but very limited) collection! 

For this new style, we create these dangles by hand-hammering our large brass half-moons and then we suspend each with a pair of Dragon Skin Turquoise strands that we wire together, creating another simple, flowy, badass design!

"Dragon skin" Turquoise is viewed in metaphysical practices as a powerful stone of protection, transformation, and inner strength. Its unique, intricate patterns—resembling reptile scales— are believed to channel the energy of a mythical dragon, providing a, courageous, and protective shield against negative energy.

• Transformation and Growth: It is associated with personal evolution, helping to release old, unwanted patterns and encouraging the pursuit of new possibilities.
• Protection and Courage: Known as a "stone of courage," it is thought to help the wearer face challenges, overcome fears, and feel secure, often used to boost confidence.
• Emotional Balance and Grounding: The stone promotes inner stability and calmness, making it effective for stress relief and emotional healing.
• Chakra Association: It is primarily associated with the Root and Sacral Chakras, fostering a sense of being grounded and fostering creative, passionate energy.
• Spiritual Connection: It facilitates a deeper connection to the spiritual realm and aids in enhancing intuition.
