Description

Named after Muspelheim, the realm of fire in Norse mythology, this piece felt like a natural match for red jasper. The deep brick reds and earthy tones in the stone look almost like cooling magma, and there is something about it that feels like the aftermath of fire rather than the flame itself, which suits Muspelheim perfectly.

Stone: Red Jasper

Wire: Oxidised copper

About Red Jasper

• Red Jasper gets its colour from iron oxide, which is why it tends to look almost geological, like a cross-section of the earth itself.

• It has been carried as a protective stone for thousands of years, found in Viking grave goods and ancient Egyptian amulets.

• It is fully opaque with a smooth, dense feel to it, heavier than it looks.
