Named for the wounded healer of Greek mythology - the centaur who could heal everyone but himself, and transformed that pain into wisdom.

Chiron holds space for that kind of transformation. A rising sun crests above a cauldron. Books line the shelves beneath - ancient remedies for wounds that don't show on the surface. This is a pendant for the person who has found medicine in the pages of a book and knows that some healing only starts when you stop looking for a cure and start looking for meaning.

One of my bookshelf necklace series - hand-sculpted shelves, miniature volumes, and symbolic elements composed at a scale that rewards close attention.

Argentium silver. Arrives on an 18-inch chain. Pendant measures 2.36 inches tall by just under an inch wide. Hand-carved, cast, and finished in my Door County, Wisconsin studio. The mold was destroyed after this single casting.
