A striking artisan brooch by celebrated jewelry artist Carolyn Morris Bach, blending carved bone, 18K gold, sterling silver, peridot, and agate into a wearable talisman inspired by the ancient goddess spirit. Measuring 2¾ inches and weighing 21.2 grams, this substantial piece has real presence without feeling heavy to wear.
The goddess's face is hand-carved from cow bone, her features soft and evocative, surrounded by twisted 18K gold wire fashioned into delicate leaves. Vivid green peridot accents catch the light around her, adding natural sparkle to the carving.
Below her face, a wide band of textured sterling silver cradles a thick, half-moon-shaped green agate gemstone — smooth, substantial, and full of natural depth and character. The interplay of hand-carved bone, fine gold wirework, hammered silver, and polished stone gives this piece real dimension and tactile richness.
The reverse is engraved with "Sterling Silver," "18K Gold," and "Carolyn Morris Bach, 1993," confirming its materials and marking it as an authentic, dated piece from the artist's body of work.
This nature-inspired brooch is also convertible — wear it as a brooch or as a pendant. It's shown displayed on a geometric necklace available in a separate listing, giving you two ways to style it.
