Jade is traditionally associated with protection, harmony, wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune.
Its energy feels wonderfully steady rather than dramatic—less lightning bolt from the cosmos, more ancient mountain that has seen some things and remains completely unbothered.
A beautiful ally for staying centred, moving wisely, and trusting that quiet strength still counts as strength.

This tumbled BC jade already had such an expressive shape that my job was really just to follow its lead. The patinated copper wraps closely around the stone while leaving plenty of its natural form visible, and the spirals and woven details give the piece movement without trying to tame it.
And then there’s the whale thing.
Something about the silhouette gives me a distinct whale surfacing through deep water feeling, and once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it. So I’m declaring that part of this particular talisman’s mythology.
Stylistically, this one reads beautifully unisex to me—substantial, earthy, organic, and quietly powerful.
No glue. No moulds. No two exactly alike.
Just stone, copper, hand tools, and occasionally a rock that decides what story we're telling.

Jade — The Ancient Guardian
For thousands of years, jade has been treasured as a symbol of protection, wisdom, prosperity, harmony, and longevity. In the MoM Field Guide, it represents strength without aggression—the ability to remain grounded while life moves around you.
Whale — The Deepwater Keeper
Across maritime traditions, whales have come to symbolize ancient wisdom, intuition, protection, emotional depth, and safe passage through the unknown. They move through enormous waters without hurry, carrying an almost mythic sense of calm power.
Spiral — The Journey
The spiral represents cycles, evolution, inward knowing, and the path that returns us to ourselves. Progress, it reminds us, rarely travels in a straight line.
Copper — The Conductor
Copper carries heat, electricity, energy, and story. In Mother of Metal mythology, it is the great connector—taking what already exists and helping it travel into its next incarnation.
Together: a talisman for protection, deep intuition, quiet courage, and navigating unfamiliar waters without forgetting who you are.

Mother of Metal jewellery is handcrafted in New Brunswick, Canada using reclaimed copper and houghtfully sourced gemstones from around the world. Each piece is created with intention as wearable art and a personal talisman.
This commitment to reuse and sustainability is at the heart of my eco-friendly mission: "Jewellery with a RE-purpose".

Copper, the metal of the magician, is believed to amplify the energy of the stones it accompanies while supporting grounding, connection, and energy flow. In my work, the heavier gauges of copper are often reclaimed from castaway wiring, giving new life to old materials and supporting my eco-friendly mission: Jewellery with a RE-purpose!
