The Truth Is in You Pendant

Some pieces of jewelry have a story to tell, and this one is particularly close to my heart.
I've had this beautiful piece of Wonderstone, cut by talented lapidary artist Gary Wilson, in my collection for years. I always knew I wanted to save it for something special, and I finally found the inspiration I'd been waiting for.
Over the years, I've had the pleasure of getting to know Tom Wilson, an incredible artist, author and Member of the Order of Canada. Tom wrote Beautiful Scars, a book that both Margaret Atwood and I highly recommend. Within its pages is a spirit animal called Bear, who became the inspiration behind this piece.
I have one of Tom's T-shirts with the words "The Truth Is in You" printed on the back. Those words have always resonated with me, and I thought they would be especially meaningful on the back of this Wonderstone.
With Tom's blessing, I created this one-of-a-kind pendant. On the reverse, I hand-pierced my own interpretation of Bear in the forest, creating a little scene that tells a story of its own. Alongside Bear are the words "The Truth Is in You", along with my personal hallmark.
When I showed Tom the finished piece, he loved it. That meant more to me than I can say.
The Wonderstone is set in solid sterling silver with a soft satin finish and pretty patina that highlights the handcrafted details. The pendant measures 4 inches long, including the bail, and 1.25 inches wide.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind piece, created with thought, meaning and a story that connects art, words and jewelry.
