Step into the timeless allure of ancient craftsmanship with our fenland bog oak pendant, meticulously carved into the elegant form of a Māori roimata teardrop. Each piece of bog oak is a relic of the past, sourced from the mysterious depths of the Fenlands in eastern England. This revered material, with its rich history dating back thousands of years, embodies the enduring spirit of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. As you hold this pendant in your hand, you can feel the weight of centuries past, a tangible connection to the ancient landscapes that gave rise to its creation.
At the heart of this pendant lies a subtle yet striking detail: a trio of copper dots, delicately pushed into drill holes along the length of the wood, starting from the bottom of the piece. Copper, with its warm, earthy tones and malleable nature, has long been revered for its conductive properties and its association with energy, healing, and protection. In this pendant, the marriage of fenland bog oak and copper dots brings together the elements of earth and metal, forging a harmonious union that speaks to the balance and interconnectedness of all things.
This pendant stands as a testament to the boundless creativity and adventurous spirit of the artisan. While every effort has been made to craft a flawless piece, it's important to note that this pendant is the result of an experimental design. As such, one of the copper wires may be slightly out of alignment at the back (and is priced because of that reason), though the flaw is hardly perceptible from the front. Despite this minor imperfection, the pendant remains a striking and unique work of art, priced to reflect its experimental nature. Embracing the ethos of experimentation and innovation, this piece invites you to celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the journey of creative exploration.
But beyond its physical attributes, this pendant carries with it a deeper cultural significance, rooted in the traditions of the Celtic peoples who once inhabited the lands of the Fenlands. For the Celts, bog oak held a sacred significance, believed to be imbued with the wisdom of the ancient forests and the spirits of the earth. In crafting this pendant, we honor the legacy of our Celtic ancestors, drawing upon their timeless wisdom and reverence for the natural world.
As you wear this pendant, let it serve as a reminder of the enduring beauty and resilience of nature, and the timeless wisdom of the past. May it inspire you to embrace the interconnectedness of all things, and to walk in harmony with the rhythms of the earth.
Waxed Nylon Cord for Versatility:
Suspended from a waxed nylon cord, this pendant offers versatility in wear, allowing you to adjust it to your preferred length. The waxed cord symbolizes the interweaving threads of life, echoing the intricate connections between the wearer, the pendant, and the ancient oak's storied past. Wear it with pride, knowing that this piece is not just an accessory but a tangible link to the enduring spirit of both the fenlands and New Zealand's rich cultural heritage.
Local Beauty, Local Care: As advocates of sustainability and community, we take pride in our commitment to local artisans. To complement the linseed oil finish, we adorn our pendants with a coating of Brays Bees cream polish, thoughtfully created by nearby beekeepers. This local touch not only enriches the wood's natural allure but also supports local businesses, creating a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and care.
