This piece features an large Ironstone in Quartz cabochon, set in silver, to captures a moment where light breaks through heavy cloud cover, revealing brightness just beneath the surface. Variations in tone and texture suggest movement in the sky, as if the scene is slowly opening rather than fully revealed. In order to maximize the reflection of light and avoid the color change of darker background through its transparent surface, the stone is backed by a segment of Nautilus shell. The imagery feels quiet and transitional, focused on that brief pause between darkness and light. The piece is designed for wear as either a pendant or brooch.
