PORTAL

PORTAL

Everything about this piece is quite remarkable - the selection of material, the subtle shape of the drop, the cord design and the sublime craftsmanship - a real work of art! The shape brings to mind the ultimate PORTAL!

This pendant is an invitation. Crafted for those who sense the shiver in the air where worlds brush close.

Ebony, dense and ancient as a starless void, forms the base - a perfect obsidian plane. Across it arcs a crescent of mother-of-pearl, its prismatic glow fractured into a thousand half-seen hues, as if straining to show what lies beyond. Bridging the divide: a sliver of hand-formed copper, thrumming with the energy of a conduit.

Craftsmanship as Alchemy:

• The ebony’s edge is rounded and worked until it feels impossibly smooth

• Mother-of-pearl’s curve is formed and attached so that it appears to float above the wood, its inner luminescence suggesting glimpses of another world

• The copper contrasts the pearl’s perfection - a tactile reminder this portal was made by human hands, not otherworldly ones

The artist’s genius lies in manipulating perception: tilt the pendant, and the pearl’s iridescence shifts—not just reflecting light, but appearing to source it from elsewhere. Even the weight is a little uncanny: lighter than you would imagine ebony should be, as though part of its mass exists in another dimension.

For those who crave beauty with secrets, this pendant offers no answers. Only the exquisite unease of standing at a threshold, wondering what wonders await those brave enough to turn its key.

Take a moment to watch the brief video we have made of it slowly revolving. This reveals the quality of the carving and the beauty of this pendant.
