- process: I have a soft spot for amulets and sometimes the most simple, most elegant amulets can not be found easily (in new or vintage gold). I decided to create the option of this sacred shape in solid gold and at a scale not often found easily. I designed, carved, finished and polish each amulet by hand in the Hudson Valley.
