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.
Red Jasper
Red Jasper is an opaque, microcrystalline silica-rich material whose red colors are commonly associated with iron oxides. Dark mineral areas, pale veins, spots, and bands may occur naturally and create individual differences in color depth and pattern.
I believe in red jasper’s energy of endurance, courage, and grounding. It is the stone I would choose when enthusiasm has worn off and there is still work to do—a companion for staying with something that matters.

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 severe impacts and abrasive contact. Clean with lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly; avoid strong acids and alkaline cleaners.
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.

Each piece is carefully packed to protect its carved surfaces during transit.
