Obsidian Pixiu pendant with a raw garnet as the cherry on the cake. Handcrafted in 950 silver here in LA by Guadalajara artisan, Armando. A true heirloom.
This week I’m in the mood to show off our custom pieces. And this was one of our first of the year. In a world where pieces are made to be tossed by the following season—and where workers are tossed just as easily—having a meaningful piece made for you that will last is incredibly gratifying and fulfilling.
That AI is inevitable is a lie. That fast fashion is inevitable and “creates jobs” is a lie and propaganda for systems that fail us and the earth.
Currently this Obsidian Pixiu pendant is on the other side of the globe with .glasses on his adventures. To me it’s satisfying to be engaged in a creation process that by current production standards does not make sense. *But* that acts as proof of how we can move through this world and how we can relate to the things that are most meaningful.
Imagine a piece like this being yours and wearing it at your chest. Imagine the feeling of wearing something created just for you. How can that feeling even be measured?
