The forest cap mushroom, hand-carved and lost wax cast in oxidised sterling silver — wider than its companion pieces, and all the more grounding for it.
Made in Louise Douglas's Nelson studio, the pendant disc is cast from a hand-carved wax original, its radiating gills spreading outward from a 4mm round smoky topaz set in a 9k gold bezel at the centre. The warm amber of the stone sits quietly against the dark antique finish of the silver, held by a solid silver bail. It hangs on an oxidised sterling silver curb chain — tone on tone, unhurried.
