This on-of-a-kind necklace is inspired by anatomical oddities and the quiet strength of the human form. Designed as a stylized sternum, the three central stones align like a protective core-structured, intentional, and symbolic of the body's inner architecture.
A raw Obsidian shard forms the base, grounding the piece with weight and depth, while two luminous Labradorite stones rise above it, framed by flowing, swirling wirework. Small Labradorite beads hang delicately from the sides, adding movement and balance without breaking the skeletal symmetry.
Every curve, wrap, and connection was shaped by hand, making this a true wearable relic- equal parts art object and adornment.
Metaphysical Meaning:
the sternum is the body's natural shield - a central bone that protects the heart, lungs, and vital life force. In this piece, the sternum form represents inner structure, resilience, and the strength it takes to remain open while protected.
The three vertically aligned stones mirror the body's energetic and emotional core:
Obsidian (base) anchors the piece, symbolizing grounding, truth, and protection. Positioned at the foundation, it represents the body's instinctual defense - the deep knowing that keeps us safe.
Labradorite (center & crown) rises above the Obsidian, representing intuition, transformation, and spiritual awareness. These stones reflect the heart's capacity to evolve beyond survival into insight and clarity.
Together, the stones form a protective axis - grounding below, awakening above - creating balance between shadow and light. This alignment mirrors the process of shadow work: acknowledging what protects us, then consciously choosing growth.
This necklace is meant to be worn as energetic armor - not to harden the heart, but to guard it while allowing intuition, truth, and transformation to flow freely.
