'Three Graces'

The Three Graces — Aglaia, Euphrosyne, Thalia — are the daughters of Zeus and the companions of Aphrodite. They are beauty, mirth, and abundance: the three qualities that make a moment worth having.

Three white hydrangea florets on a dark ground, surrounded by gold dust. The oval holds them the way a painting holds a scene — with the awareness that what matters is not the frame but what the frame is paying attention to. The gold doesn’t decorate. It accumulates around the flowers the way gold accumulates around anything that deserves it.

This pendant is for the woman who is all three, on her best days and her most difficult ones.
