Caches and silver troves as a visual style
Okay, the paradox can’t quite be reconciled between a piece of jewelry made of a precious metal and my favored concept wabi sabi and its reverence for simplicity and appreciation of all things and beings’ transient nature. Even so, with time the metal surface will show wear and marks, traces which add a wabi sabi kind of worn beauty. ALl the same, the properties of gold are unique, fire melting any of its alloys, allowing it to reemerge again and again in recycled pure form. It “rises”again, like Phoenix did.
