{"product_id":"the-nova-pendant","title":"The Nova Pendant (Bronze)","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eIf you follow my Instagram stories, you already know the reality behind this piece. The hours of sculpting, sanding, micro-cracks, frustrations, patching and re-firing that went into it. Working with bronze clay and setting stones directly has been a massive undertaking for me. It is messy, unforgiving, and deeply labor-intensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eBut my steady anchor through the entire design process for setting stones in bronze clay was a simple phrase: keep failing until you don’t.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe Bronze Nova Pendant is the physical proof of that persistence. Hand-sculpted in solid bronze, this heavy, structural star was built entirely around a custom warm-toned 7.5mm old mine cut antique cushion cubic zirconia. Every polished line and mirror finish was earned through trial and error.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe back features an open, hand-carved azure window so the light can flood completely through the stone from every angle. I hope when you wear this, it serves as a daily reminder that the magic only happens when you are willing to make mistakes, learn from the flaws, and keep going anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eDesign Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStandard:\u003c\/b\u003e Features one embedded eyelet and one bronze jump ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eConnector\/Extender:\u003c\/b\u003e Features two embedded eyelets at points 2 and 5 with two jump rings to style as a link or chain extender.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMixed Metal Shooting Star:\u003c\/b\u003e Features the bronze main star cascading into three sterling silver rolo chains and three hand-sculpted silver accent stars, including one set with a 3mm cubic zirconia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid bronze main star, hand-sculpted from premium metal clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMain Star Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 7g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStone:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.5mm (2.2ct) old mine cut antique cushion CZ (warm-toned)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBacking:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-carved open azure back on the main star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBail\/Attachment:\u003c\/b\u003e Bronze eyelet embedded into the piece with a bronze jump ring attached\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e High-shine, mirror-polished finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e This listing is for the pendant only, allowing you to pair it with your favorite chain or a custom option from the shop.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNote from the Artist:\u003c\/b\u003e Each piece is hand sculpted and fired to order in my Connecticut studio.
