On one of my walks along the Atlantic Ocean shore I picked up a piece of rockweed seaweed and thought – could we create a series from this form? Lyrical, flowing seaweed – a perfect motif to echo and enhance the human body. The Rockweed Low Tide pendant is suspended from three delicate strands of sterling silver Figaro chain with our Ancient Anchor toggle and ring with tourmaline bead flourish. The toggle and ring are inspired by ancient anchors recovered from the Mediterranean Sea. Each element is individually flame-patinated using traditional techniques to create bronze sculpture for your body. From the Flotsam and Jetsam collection: embellishments for your body inspired by timeless archetypal form.

Your selection from the Flotsam and Jetsam collection is very easy to care for - with a few exceptions.  The bronze, flame worked patinas, and oxidized sterling silver elements are quite durable.  All the bronze elements are carefully waxed using carnauba wax obtained from the leaves of a palm tree known as Copernica Cerifera, which is also referred to as the "Tree of Life".  Over time you will find that the patina will "age" and some areas will become burnished and the natural bronze coloring will be revealed - this will be evident most noticeably on the toggles and rings.  This natural process will add to the unique quality of your piece. We suggest that, in order to preserve the patina, that you avoid wearing Flotsam and Jetsam while bathing, swimming, or in a hot tub (very harsh chemicals there!). If desired, reapply wax occasionally and sparingly.
