Sculpture & Aesthetics
Some skulls earn a place on the shelf; a little one can come with you. We like the familiarity of a skull pendant against an everyday shirt: that small grin, close enough to reach for without thinking. Choosing one often comes down to a particular face or a patch of color in the stone. Small things can become favorites very quickly.
Carving at this scale makes us pay close attention to what gives the face its character. The brow, eye sockets, cheekbones, and tiny teeth have to remain clear as the stone is shaped and polished. A metal bail at the crown provides the attachment point. We want it to reward a closer look, with enough detail to enjoy in your hand as well as when you wear it.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli is a natural rock rather than a single mineral. Lazurite provides its blue color, while calcite commonly forms pale veins and pyrite appears as metallic golden flecks. Their proportions and placement vary naturally between carvings.
I believe in lapis lazuli’s energy of wisdom, truth, and communication. It is a stone I would choose when I want to understand something more deeply and find words that are honest rather than merely easy.

Natural Variation & Care
Natural veils, inclusions and variations in color are part of the material’s character. Appearance may vary with lighting and screen settings.
Protect it from scratches, impacts, acids, alcohol, acetone, and prolonged soaking. Clean gently with mild soapy water and a soft cloth, then dry promptly.
Avoid pulling or twisting the metal bail, and inspect the bail, cord and knots periodically. Remove the pendant before bathing, swimming, exercise or sleep. Protect the carved teeth and jaw from impact, and store it separately when not in use.
Shipping & Returns
Each piece is carefully packed to protect its carved surfaces during transit.
