Torch Crown necklace

NAOMI NOWAK

Necklace made of recycled silver representing a burning torch with a raw quartz stone. The crystal has been harvested ethically and on a small scale without supporting mining or blasting. The jewelry comes with a chain in 925 sterling silver and the charm itself is approx. 6 cm.

The torch appears together with Baphomet and stands for the flame of intelligence, which is said to bring the light of universal balance into the world. The rod in the same symbol stands for eternal life that triumphs over the perishable and material world.

"The torch of intelligence burning between the horns is the magical light of universal equilibrium; it is also the kind of soul elevated above matter, as the flame cleaves at the torch." - Eliphas Lev

All of Naomi Nowak's jewelry is hand sculpted, primarily in wax and clay but also with elements such as wood and found plant parts. They are cast in recycled silver and she uses a technique called "lost form". The jewelry comes with a chain that was bought second hand and therefore varies slightly in length and design.
