The Watching Eye

“The Watching Eye” – Hand-Cut Horn Coral Pendant in Copper Slytly Flawed • $80 This pendant stares right back at you. The heart of the piece is a beautiful agatized (fully silicated) horn coral cabochon that I cut and polished myself from raw material. The intricate radiating cellular patterns form a hypnotic eye-like appearance — almost as if an ancient creature is looking through time. It glows dramatically when backlit, revealing even more depth and fire in the reds and oranges. I designed and hand-fabricated the entire copper setting: the custom bezel with its detailed serrated edge, the hammered backplate with organic texture, and the sturdy bail. The warm copper tones complement the fossil perfectly and give the pendant a bold, wearable presence. This piece was made by a three-time stroke survivor. Through my brand Slytly Flawed, I embrace the unique marks, textures, and character that come from creating with what I have. No two pieces will ever be exactly alike — each one carries both the deep time of the formation and the resilience of the maker. $80 plus shipping
