Inspiration for this necklace came from J.R.R. Tolkien's prose. The beautiful, green stone you can see in the center reminded me of Eryn Galen - Greenwood the Great - known later as Mirkwood or Taur-nu-Fuin. The pendant is adorned with two pleached trees - a common motif in elven architecture. Maybe these are the columns in one of the halls of Lord Thranduil's palace, maybe they form the gate to Silvan Elves' kingdom, or perhaps these are just the trees, growing freely in the mighty ancient forest.

This piece was totally hand formed out of fine silver, labradorite and lots of little moss agates and peridots. Oxidized and partially polished.
