This pendant is one of a series of unique works I created depicting variations of the Flower of Life pattern.
I handcut this Flower of Life pattern using a tiny sawblade, (no laser cutting!) and the star tetrahedron, and riveted them together. I then cast the whole piece, to make it into one piece of metal. It has been cast in white bronze, which is similar to sterling silver, but is more resistant to tarnish.
I oxidised the inner details, and sanded back the surfaces to give it a sense of depth.
The pendant is double sided and can be worn either way, depending on your mood.
The Flower of Life is an ancient geometrical design based around the circle.
It contains ancient, theological value depicting the fundamental forms of space and time. In this sense, it is a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings, and it is believed to contain a type of Akashic Record of basic information of all living things
In sacred geometry the circle represents the sphere in 2 dimensions. It is the most universal symbol known to man and the ultimate representation of the unity and inseparability of all things. The Flower of Life pattern uses Pi to create the perfect balancing of spheres with sixfold symmetry. The centre of each circle is on the circumference of the six surrounding circles of the same diameter.
The Star Tetrahedron, also known as Star of David or Mer-ka-ba, consists of two tetrahedrons interlocking, one upside-down and ratcheted against the other. The inner heart of this 3d shape is an octahedron which is the first point of sacred geometry.
This piece is 3.5cm in diameter, on a 45cm oxidised sterling silver chain.
