Sculpted in wax and cast using the lost wax method.
Each jewelry sculpture I create is painstakingly polished and finished by hand, then strung on quality leather cord accented with solid sterling silver end caps, lobster claw clasp, and one inch of extension chain.

A rich patina adds drama and gleam to this pendant. A smooth finish makes it a joy to touch.

This pendant is a wonderful, tactile meditation piece.

Close your eyes and remember your connection to nature and wildlife — bliss-filled moments to lighten your spirit. Breathe in the fresh morning air with its warm earthy scent. As the predawn sky lightens, you can hear the Spider Monkeys chattering in the trees and almost taste the juicy sweet mangoes.

As the sun streaks through the mist and breaks over the canopy of an ancient Maya rainforest, toucans and howler monkeys joining in, celebrating a new day.

If you can’t be in the rain forest — be there in spirit — wearing this beautiful sterling silver pendant.

The spiral on the back of my jewelry is ‘Journey’ my logo.

From the beginning of time, stardust and ancestral genes, we spiral out on our unique journeys, growing, creating, changing, yet always circling our true self, our origin, our first dawn.
I created this glyph as a note-to-self — drawing it in the margins of my sketchbooks.
Each sketch, like each day, is a step on the trail following passions, growing in a continuous spiral.
The compass points represent the four winds and my love for travel and discoveries - both around the world and inside my head.
Close up the path would not be a perfectly smooth clockwise spiral; switchbacks, stalls, falls, and hurricanes happen. But from a cosmic perspective of the time continuum, I'm moving forward and in the right direction. I need to remind myself of this when the path seems to wander off the map or fall away into a dark abyss, so I draw it in the margins and wear it as a talisman.

My reminder: life is a journey— pack light— and make the most of every day of this trip.

I loved carving this piece. I’ve drawn and painted this monkey and his brothers several times over the years. It is one of those images forever etched in my mind and now drawn from memories of sitting on my deck at sunrise, having a great cup of coffee, watching the monkeys in the trees, and sketching. Bliss Moments.

Mayan hieroglyphs often work their way into my artwork. In the cartouche - Sunrise (top bead), the sun glyph is the circle with the four dots inside. The sun is squeezing between the two glyphs for heaven and earth, being followed by the glyph for the moon in three phases on the left. “Sunrise”

My use here of the sunrise glyph here is symbolic, representing a new day, a fresh canvas, a fresh beginning.

I love monkeys, wickedly smart ambassadors of the rain forest.

Jaguar Shaman Pendant by Savanna Redman.

Inspiration and Process

I first painted the Jaguar Shaman as a silk painting.
And the image stayed with me wanting to be more.

Mayan Jaguar Shaman

Serti Technique on Silk

Jaguar, power, dance, and transformation are symbolized and expressed in a painting. Here a Maya lord takes the shape of his animal self or uay, a Jaguar. His belt holds the symbol of heaven and jade beads.

 

The Jaguar was the most revered animal in Mesoamerica. They played a significant role in the Maya religion and were an important Shamanic symbol. The Jaguar, with its power and grace, held the top position in the food chain, and this supremacy was greatly admired and sought after. 

 

In states of ritual transformation, humans changed themselves into jaguars from at least Olmec times onward. Kings, chiefs, and shaman often wore pelts, sandals, and headdresses made from the Jaguar. In addition, necklaces of jade beads in the shape of jaguar teeth and stone thrones often took the Jaguar form. 

 

A vase from the Altar de Sacrificios from the Maya Late Classic Period (600 – 900 AD) was the inspiration for my silk painting.

 

In my interpretation, I sought to create the feeling of a painting on the wall of a temple. My choice of greens and the technique I used in the background was to create the sense of aged stone and moss and represent jade. Jade (jadeite) is associated with life and renewal of life and is the most important stone in the Maya culture. Original painting on silk 24" x 30"

Jaguar Shaman Pendant by Savanna Redman.

 On the top of a temple, a Maya Shaman dances to become his animal-self the Jaguar, his uay, calling the wisdom of the Jaguar.

 In the distance, a temple edges over the jungle. 

A Mayan glyph Sky Band runs across the top of the pendant.
