'The Opposition'

Buckthorn, grapevine, yarrow, larkspur, and marigold — each one a tiny fragment, each one pretending to be a larger, more dramatic flower. The Masquerade at its most elaborate: five garden botanicals playing the roles of something grander, inside a daisy-bordered frame with blue accent dots.

The most sophisticated illusions are assembled from the most ordinary materials. Look closely and you will see everything it is. Look away and you will see everything it is pretending to be.

This pendant is for the woman who understands that the best relationships are full of contrast — and full of secrets.
