WHAT A LOVELY PIECE, in VERY condition, showing minimal wear. Patina is light, and you will probably love it AS IS!!! I know we do.  :)

This pentacle, carved with Celtic knotwork as well as traditional Celtic swirl patterns, is a symbol of Earth and Prosperity as seen in the tarot. The Pentacle in its upright position represents the Spirit in balance and harmony with the four elements.

Paul Borda's company, Dryad Design, is devoted to the Pagan religion and see their work as revitalizing the presence of the Goddess in our society. For those who are not Pagan, their pieces often connect them with their spirituality, heritage or ancestors. Each of their pieces are consecrated in circle and dedicated to the service of the divine.

The imagery for all of Paul's work begins with ritual and meditation and is followed by extensive research. Paul feels the image is a gift from the Gods and has an etheric life of its own. He holds the image in his mind until he finds the appropriate material. Paul will stare for long periods of time into the material until he can see within the completed piece. Through this process the image and its life force is transferred into the wood or stone. Paul maintains that once the image solidifies in the wood, the carving is quick and easy. The first day is the most exciting for him because everything is potential. His heart pumps with excitement and the thrill of sinking his chisels into wood.

PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR STERLING SILVER JEWELRY. Do not shower, bathe, wash dishes, or immerse your jewelry for periods of time in hot water....and we also recommend you not sleep with it on. The reason is that Sterling Silver is softer than gold, and constantly exposing it to temperature extremes could result in the loss of a stone, or loosening of the setting. You should also wipe your jewelry with a cleaning cloth when you remove it, prior to storing it. That help remove body salts, oils, lotions, etc., so that your Silver doesn't "pit". We cannot be responsible for what you do with jewelry once it is in your possession, so these are some helpful hints to make your jewelry last well into future generations.  :)
