Raven Talon Rosecut Garnet
Machinations makes some of our favorite local jewelry in the New York area, but the appeal of these pieces stretches far and wide to include anyone with even an inkling of an interest in historical context or rustic beauty.
“As a talking bird,” Machinations write of the piece, “the raven also represents prophecy and insight. Ravens in stories often act as psychopomps, connecting the material world with the world of spirits.” Garnets represent love, loyalty, and commitment, so buy this for someone you want to keep around long-term who deserves your undying devotion–and a little spoiling.
