MARKET REVIEW | BEVEL JEWELRY TROPHY TREE MODERN NECKLACE

The skies are darkening and the sharpened, menacing shapes of this necklace are luring depressive dressing habits back out from my inner psyche.

Bevel jewelry takes inspiration from the mytho-historical narratives of the ancient Guatemalan document Popul Vuh.  That means there is a silly yet still entertaining little backstory behind every piece, this particular one involving a sacrificed head hanging from a tree that spit onto the hand of Xquic, a daughter of a lord, impregnating her with the Hero Twins.  Talk about one fanciful Immaculate Conception.  The “thistles” on the necklace are representative of the 7 heads that were hanging on this tree during the time Xquic visited the tree.   Kind of a darling story that balances creepiness with heroicism.  Perfect fodder for daydreams and nightsweats.
