I recently received the exciting news that this necklace will be included in
Showcase 500 Art Necklaces, being released this summer by Lark Publishing! I am so happy to be included in this wonderful collection. The locket was created as a portrait of my great-grandmother, Georgia Helen Griffith. She was was an independent, college-educated woman who traveled to Jamaica in 1890 as a Quaker missionary. The materials in the locket include etched copper, sterling, sapphire, garnet, and found objects; elements are hand fabricated and lost wax cast. Above the antique map on the back of the locket is the Quaker star.
The book will be available on Amazon and can be pre-ordered.
