IT ISN’T SURPRISING that an artist wanting, to carve something wild and majestic, would choose a stallion as an obvious choice. The artist must first choose a specific gem material, all the while, selecting a piece that he can create his masterpiece. Lapis is always a fun medium to work with, specially when you can pull out that deep rich royal blue color, yet still retain those natural gold pyrite flakes.
Michelangelo was famous for saying, “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” It explains why jewelry artists around the globe, express their craft using stone.
Given the bold color of blue against most other contrasting colors, this necklace offers a different perception of creativity when it comes to what is wild. Set in silver, it pushes that contrast further between man and nature, a fight for dominance vs. independence… a concept man has struggled with for centuries.
One could only imagine what an artist feels as he creates, contemplates and finishes a one-of-a-kind work of art. Like Michelangelo, an artist’s task is to reveal the hidden image in a stone found in nature. This particular necklace, recently acquired by Gold Crown Jewelry, is now available for purchase here.
