Astérisme
Description
Three stones. One for each question. Sometimes sprinkled with a little more.
Three words, three colors, one sign and three stones to carry them. Set into hand-carved wax and cast in metal in New York. Astérisme is the version where nothing gets left out. The words you gave us, the colors you gave us, and the chart you were born into, all held on one pendant.
This is a custom pendant necklace you don't get to approve. Choose your metal. Answer the three questions at checkout. We carve, cast, and set. It ships in 2 to 4 weeks. Mix of gemstones and glass stones.
Material & Care
Each piece is cast in white bronze, sterling silver, gold vermeil, or solid 18k gold. Silver will develop a natural patina with wear, some love it; a soft polishing cloth brings back the shine in seconds. Store pieces separately, keep them clear of perfume and salt water, and they will outlast you. Every order ships in signature packaging with care instructions, and we repair what we make, write to us if a piece ever needs attention.
Design
Sœur Jumelle, "twin sisters" in French, is built on two halves, distinct yet complementary. Each design begins as a hand-carved wax in Paris and is cast by lost wax in New York by founder Sabine Borthwick. Because every stage is done by hand, no two castings are ever the same, the way nature never repeats itself. Not made for everyone. Made for one.
