Brookie Necklace - Turquoise & Sapphire

The latest edit on my Brookie series - a hand-fabricated (from scratch!) trout, with hand-pierced and hand-engraved details, and a tiny 1.5mm blue sapphire eye :) I've paired it with super vibrant, high grade, ethically sourced, artisan cut turquoise beads. Measures approx 19.25 inches from end to end, finished with a hand-forged hook clasp.

One September afternoon I sat just upstream from where the cold water river feeds into the big lake. I’d spent the day working deep down a bush road high up in the Algoma mountain ranges here in northern Ontario. The water was so full of spawning brookies that they were swimming on top of each other. It was a beautiful day, the sun beating down on my back, my body bone tired from a full day of good, honest work, and I had such a peaceful feeling of wonder & belonging in my heart. I hope this one of a kind bracelet evokes in you some of that sweet river magic.

All my work is handmade using traditional goldsmithing, stone-setting, and hand-engraving techniques, with my own two hands and a lot of heart and soul. Each North Star order comes ready for gift-giving. If you have any questions about this piece or my work in general, please don't hesitate to contact me.
