This necklace is cast from a small maple key, and serves to remind us that all things in nature are both imperfect and beautiful, occupying both spaces at once and creating a powerful uniqueness.
To create these unique pieces, Kyla uses a process called "organic casting" in which organic, natural materials such as maple keys, seed pods or cedar branches, are used to create a cast that is filled with molten metal and rapidly cooled. Once the metal is cooled, it can be manipulated by bending, soldering, texturing, and polishing to create a beautiful, wearable piece of nature.
