Mini Scythe Necklace in Sterling Silver by Arcana Obscura
The scythe has been a symbol of the indiscriminate and unyielding nature of death since the Black Plague ravaged Europe during the Middle Ages.
Cast in solid sterling silver that has been oxidized, this pendant hangs from a patterned sterling chain.
Scythe measures approximately 1 1/8 inch long and 5/8 inch at its widest point.
Available in chain lengths 14 to 20 inches
Each piece is made to order, so please allow up to 2-4 weeks for shipment.
Kate Hockstein moved to New York City in 2006 to pursue an M.A. in art history, having studied illustration, painting, and printmaking since the mid-90s. In 2014, she discovered the art of ancient Etruscan goldsmithing and has since been almost exclusively focused on jewelry design. She launched her jewelry line Arcana Obscura in 2015.
Kate approaches her work from a sculptural perspective and draws deeply from her love of nature, folk art, and the eldritch and macabre. Her lifelong affinity for old cemeteries and Victorian mourning jewelry are recurring themes throughout her designs, which are cast in solid sterling silver and gold.
