Talisman framed lichen brooch, beautifully handcrafted jewellery.

Framed in recycled silver on an etched background, this beautiful piece of lichen is held in place by a gold hook. Framed just as a fine painting may be, this piece asks the question What is precious?

The names of rare and beautiful lichens are etched into the back surface of this piece and add texture and detail to the piece while reminding you that these small lives are precious and beautiful. I love the quote below by Rumi as it sums up, for me, the quiet time spent searching for these windfall lichens and exploring their beauty.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray. Rumi

The Talisman project is about lost words and species on the edge of extinction – wild flowers, birds, kelp forests, sea grass and, of course, lichen. They are Talisman pieces of jewellery to be worn and loved and remind the wearer that nature is important. We are part of nature, not separate from it, and we all need to take more care.
