This neckpiece is cut from brass, formed and powder coated then finished with oxidized sterling silver findings.

Necklace measures approximately 19’’ around (10’’ from top to bottom when laying flat) and 5’’ wide.

The Nova Collection has been a work in progress for some time, and I am happy to share it with you now. I chose "Nova" because it means “new, rebirth,” and the pieces in The Nova Collection all exist as something else (powder coated to a “finished state”) before I manipulate them into something new. The texture and color created after this manipulation often possess a celestial quality. This work is in some way a collaboration between me and the process, as I have little control over the ultimate surface. The pieces are all still cut from brass and powder coated, but I have gone a couple of steps further, manipulating the powder coat before adding a clear coat on top to protect the new finish. All pieces in The Nova Collection are one-of-a-kind and cannot be fully replicated.
