Blue lace agate is traditionally associated with calm, clear communication and expressing truth without unnecessary sharpness.
Its soft blue bands carry symbolism of patience and composure—the ability to pause, gather one’s thoughts and choose words with intention rather than urgency.
The stone is also associated with perspective. Its layered markings remind us that a situation may look entirely different when approached from another direction, making it particularly fitting for a pendant designed to be worn more than one way.

The double-bail construction is deliberate. A chain or leather cord may be threaded through either end, allowing you to decide which direction the agate’s natural banding and copper framework should flow.
Creating a modified Herringbone weave in 16-gauge copper requires considerably more persuasion than working with finer wire. Its bold curves and substantial structure are formed entirely by hand, without glue or manufactured settings.
The bands, small inclusions and subtle colour variations within the blue lace agate are natural characteristics belonging to the stone.
I protected the patinated copper with Renaissance Wax, a microcrystalline wax developed for museum conservation in London. I choose it because it provides the least obtrusive protection while allowing copper to remain copper. The wax will gradually wear away, and the metal will continue developing its own living finish.
Avoid soaking, chemical cleaners and abrasive products. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear.

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 is the great conductor and the metal of the magician. It amplifies the energies of the stones it accompanies. It is excellent for channelling and grounding and, thus, is considered the conduit between heaven and earth. Copper has long been used to aid tissue repair, blood support, and increase vitality. The larger gauges of copper used in my pieces have been reclaimed from castaway wiring, supporting my eco-friendly mission: "Jewelry with a re-purpose!".
