Jeanine Payer Contemplation Necklace Sterling Silver 18k Gold
Details: Inspired by the hand-hammered brass
jewelry artist Alexander Calder, created in the 50's and 60's for
his dearest friends. Piece features a large, hinged pendant that opens like a
book. The hand-hammered, high polish brass cover is attached to a
satin-finish, sterling silver plate which displays the hand engraving.
Pendant is accented by a brass ring and is suspended from a substantial
cable chain. Pendant measures 2 3/8" x 1 5/8" and chain length is 31".
Hand-engraving Reads: Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.
Each separate being in the universe
returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity.
-Lao Tzu
