Of MOUNTAINS and MUSHROOMS

The Old Man of the Mountain was, and still is an iconic figure in NH. The symbol of the Granite State, and being made of said granite, he oversaw scenic Franconia Notch and the White Mountains until he fell in 2003. He is still celebrated as the quintessential Granite Stater...stoic, silent and profilic (which may not be a real word, but should be...you get the point). This necklace both celebrates him, and suggests where he may have risen to after his great fall...to the moon, of course. I handcraft the necklace out of Sterling silver and lacquered jeweler's brass, and dangle a little mixed metal star at the bottom for fun. The pendant measures 1 1/4" wide by 1 1/2" tall and it hangs from a 24" Sterling chain. It is a tribute to a great figure and special state.

Mushrooms symbolize the beauty and magic of nature, and the amanita muscaria that these earrings are based on is the quintessential mushroom. Albeit that teal is not their color of origin, but a little artistic license can keep life fun. It is the mushroom that was featured in Alice in Wonderland, and was the subject of European folklore, and often represented in Christmas tree ornaments. These earrings pay homage to these mushrooms, and to the fields and forests where they are found. They are handcrafted from jeweler's brass and Sterling, and carefully hand-painted, and sealed with protective resin. The stems dance lightly beneath the caps, and bits of the decorative elements will glow in the dark after being exposed to bright light for several minutes. The measure a scant 3/4"wide and 1" long without the Sterling earring wires. These earrings are light and fun to wear.
