Deaths reminder necklace
“The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.” - John Muir
I want this pendant to serve as a reminder to the wearer than all things must die, it is the natural way of this world. Even nature finds little ways to remind us. The Deaths head hawk moth is a symbol for death in many cultures and communities.
However, even in death there is beauty to be found.
The crystals on the moth are natural crystal quartz points. Each pendant will be slightly different with fewer or more quartz points. I will make the pendant to the specifications but once it leaves my hands it is yours. If a crystal breaks it is not my fault- this necklace is fragile so please treat it kindly, do not get it wet, and when not wearing pack it with care.
-A note about oxidization, It is kind of like tie-dye, each oxidization is a little different from the other! It is a chemical reaction on the silver. Oxidization will fade over time and pieces can always be re-oxidized!
The pendant was designed by me, inspired by the forest. Sculpted by Hiroyuki Shambles in Japan, and cast by a local casting company here in Los Angeles, CA.
The pendant is oxidized sterling silver.
Specifically designed to be unisex.
Sterling silver has very minimal upkeep! Just wet with water and wipe with a soft cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you ever be restocking your jewelry?
In 2019 I stopped making my jewelry collections as it was drowning me in work. I would have had to raise prices to make it sustainable and that felt unreasonable. It was also draining on me as I polished and oxidized each piece while working many other jobs. I may bring it back in the future if I got some help, but right now in the age of Covid the studio where I cast my silver is closed so I couldn’t even it I wanted to.
Thank you all for the interest however! I am so glad that my collection connected to so many people.
Will you be restocking X?
I like to make items in small batches as I introduce a new design each week! If i kept everything in stock I would have over 300 designs to store in my studio and I just dont have that space!
Items marked with the “Last call” sticker on their icons will NOT be restocked. If there is no sticker then it will most likely be restocked! I try to do restocks every few months!
If the item is no longer in the store it may have been discontinued! Please check back each Friday to see what’s new before they fly away!
