Tension set garnets between three silver layers mimic natures scaffolding in this embodiment of Ernst Haeckel’s 1862 illustration of a microscopic radiolarian from the Strait of Messina. The reversible pendant reveals two different views inside the microscopic sea creature. Joined with stainless steel nuts and bolts as a nod to the affects of industrialization on even the smallest and deepest sea creatures.
