This necklace features a piece of dark kauri resin from New Zealand, its rich brown tone recalling peat, tree bark, and the deep strata of ancient forests. Hand-polished without losing its raw contours, the resin retains an organic presence, as though it had only just emerged from soil and time. It is set in rust-brown macramé with subtle lavender accents, a combination that softens the darkness of the resin while drawing the eye to its irregular shape. Faceted amethyst beads are worked throughout the necklace, their violet glints adding moments of clarity and quiet brightness.Kauri resin is not amber in the strict geological sense, yet it shares the same origin in tree and resin, and the same ability to hold fragments of the past. Its formation speaks to slowness: the accumulation of sap, the burial of forest, the settling of sediment, and the patient work of time. Such materials often evoke ancestral memory, lineage, and the continuity of landforms across generations. Against this depth, amethyst contributes a more aerial frequency — the coolness of dusk, the logic of dream, and the inward gaze of contemplation.In the mythic register, the pairing calls to goddesses of forest, night, and threshold: figures who stand between the seen and the unseen. Artemis, with her affinity for wild places; Hecate, who governs crossroads and hidden sight; and the unnamed Lady of the Wood, who belongs more to folklore than pantheon. Through these lineages, the necklace resonates with the Seer and the Forest Priestess, archetypes who move through the world with a listening mind and an unobtrusive strength.Worn for ritual, meditation, or daily adornment, this piece honors the long patience of trees and the quiet intelligence of night. It is suited for those who carry an affinity for shadowed places, and who understand that memory can reside not only in thought, but in matter.
