Earth and Sky
Explore Earth & Sky and engrave your chapter of alignment between planets, between partners, between your pulse and the patient turning of the earth.
Vivienne Charles presents Earth & Sky, a series of miniature sculptures and wearable talismans that translate celestial or earth-bound myths into objects to perch on a desk, pin to your lapel, tuck in a travel case, or fasten at your waist before embarking on your next flight of possibility. Every piece begins with a sentiment, a feeling, a deeply protected belief, and meets with a natural mineral specimen, malachite, lapis, agate, rose quartz or tiger’s-eye each individually chosen for its unique unmistakable personality, polished, and asked politely to host a visitor.
Its visitor is a symbol of your sentiment, be it your Zodiac, or horse mid-gallop, a bull lowering its head, a proud lion or ram braced on a precipice, a golden crab advancing across a tide. Each figure is sculpted and cast in lost-wax cast, chased by hand, and finished in sterling silver detailed with high-karat gold, or solid 18k, so fine it appears to transform the small universe beneath its feet.
Place one on a board-room credenza and quarterly targets will realign; gift one with a custom-engraved sterling plaque, discreetly beneath the base, memorializing a deal or merger, a birth date, latitude and longitude, or even a secret motto, and watch even the most pragmatic focus on the objective of their pocket talisman.
