'Eloise’s Best Friend'

Every girl who is already running things has a best friend who runs alongside her. Not behind her — alongside. The best friend has her own opinions, her own sense of things, her own reasons for being exactly where she is. She is not the sidekick. She is the co-conspirator. She chose Eloise and Eloise chose her back, and that choosing is its own kind of power.

This piece is the companion to ‘Eloise’ — hydrangea and moss in the same scalloped frame, the same scale, the same world. They can be worn together or given one to each. Two girls, two pendants, one friendship sealed in bloom and resin, worn against the chest where the loyal things live.

For the girl who was chosen, and chose back.
