Capturing the feel of the Story of Daedalus creating wings for he and his son to escape King Minos, only for Icarus to fall in the seal for flying too close to the sun; this amulet of such risk taking bravery was requested by a fellow who wanted his talisman to be unique. With a basic sketch and a written description I rendered out multiple images before the right feel of the piece was approved. The idea was to use a large cabochon as the sun, the rays extending out from the orb as the setting, then overlaying the image of Icarus over the top. Because of the shape of the stone, the sculpture has the figure's knees bent as if falling towards you. To provide the ability for work to be done on the amulet in the future, I used a "clock-work setting" for the stone. This setting on the back allows the stone to be fed behind the artwork, thus protection the amulet from damage from bench jewelers should the amulet last longer that I do!

Capturing freedom, motion and the source of All, the piece is of sterling silver and garnet. The Icarus Amulet is a talisman of freedom and daring, a one of a kind piece worn by a noble and free soul who continues to attempt the impossible with Good Intent.
