During a trip to Oregon a few summers ago, I was captivated by Crater Lake, which got my creative wheels spinning. This series draws inspiration from impact craters that formed on Earth’s surface millions of years ago. I’ve always been fascinated by the planet’s origins and often find myself imagining what these colossal impacts must have been like. Interestingly, the final pieces also evoke botanical shapes, and I appreciate how they can be interpreted in that way. At times, I envision them as small volcanic islands or ancient lake beds.
I hand-fabricated this frame from sterling silver, opting for a rich, textured finish along the perimeter to echo the rugged nature of a crater wall. Nestled inside is a piece of sculptural glass, cold-worked to achieve a beautiful, smooth finish that shifts between vibrant lime and deep teal under the light. At the exact center rests a genuine pearl, mimicking a hidden pool or a singular, precious point of origin.
It’s an excellent addition for anyone looking to add a distinct collector's piece to their wardrobe.
Hand-fabricated sterling silver, luminous carved glass, and genuine pearl.
Size 8
One-of-a-kind. Crafted without molds or templates, ensuring the glass and silver work belong entirely to this specific piece.
