FULL MOON : Gleaming brightly as if it were the only source of light at night, this full-bodied pendant is representative of Maureen Lynch’s Full Moon collection. The pendant’s rounded details and subtle sloping sides beg to be touched while the texture of the satiny smooth wire necklace makes it look all the more modern. Measuring 18-inches and gathered in a simple twist and lock closure, this necklace is sure to be a staple whether worn at work or play.
Although the end result appears simple and sophisticated, the process is anything but. For example, in her Infinity collection, Maureen Lynch uses an ancient metalworking process called forging, which evokes the image of a metalsmith, with hammer in hand, pounding metal against anvil. The time she spends physically crafting the shapes is itself an investment, which is so fitting because of the sense of heritage jewelry carries.
