Carly Slape

"This piece is intended to remind the wearer of our continuous connection to the solar cycles and the importance of welcoming balance into our lives for wellbeing and self-care. Embracing balance brings refreshed perspectives and allows the flourishing growth of new ideas into tangible new ventures. It is designed to represent the time when the hours of night and day are in equal balance. The golden rutilated quartz stone represents the solar connection to this time with the sun rays radiating around half of the stone, representing equal hours of light. Solid brass was used to fabricate the piece to highlight the solar connection and bring out the brilliant golden rutilated quartz that has golden inclusions like rays of light.
