We love the unexpected pairing of agalmatolite and mottled amber glass. Inspired by Joffre Gorge in Karajini National Park, this piece is wearable and deeply chic.
Materials: Agalmatolite, glass, 18k gold plate on brass.
Backing: stud
Length: 6.8cm
Material notes:
Agalmatolite is a type of pyrophyllite historically used by Chinese artisans for carvings in pagodas. It is a relatively "soft" mineral, so is often referred to as 'soapstone'. Use of this material in carvings and decorative art eventually travelled to Russia and North America, and today, artisans and jewellery makers continue to enjoy its greyish, green colour.
