Kolo marks unity and the circle of life, and traditionally carries whatever it's built to honor — different versions fold in berries, mill-wheel blades, stars, or a cross. This one carries the sun and the moon. Its most notable feature: sun and moon worked directly into the wheel, finished in 23.5K gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCarved in wax and cast by the lost-wax method in recycled sterling silver, the wheel is finished with 23.5K gold laid on by hand using Keum-boo — sun and moon set together inside the circle, the sun for the light that drives the day, the moon for the slower turn of the lunar calendar. Strung on a dark cord with a hand-finished bead toggle, in keeping with how a wheel is meant to hang and turn rather than sit flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThree of these are already finished and ready to ship — order now and it leaves the bench in 1 to 3 business days. Once those three sell, new orders return to the usual made-to-order timeline. Part of Loza, a small collection drawn from Slavic and Croatian folk symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKolo (Wheel) Motif\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sun and moon worked into the circle, finished in 23.5K gold; kolo marks unity and the circle of life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLost-Wax Cast\u003c\/strong\u003e – Carved first in wax, then cast in recycled sterling silver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e23.5K Gold Keum-boo Accent\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fine gold fused to silver by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBead Toggle Closure\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hand-finished sterling bead and loop, strung on dark cord.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOxidized Sterling Ground\u003c\/strong\u003e – Blackened silver sets the sun and moon in relief, about the size of a US quarter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Recycled sterling silver with 23.5K gold Keum-boo accent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFace Size: Approximately 24mm — about the size of a US quarter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCord: Dark cord with sterling bead toggle (as pictured); black leather, recycled silk, or chain available on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Talisman of the Turning Year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKolo carries the sun and the moon inside the same circle — the light that drives the day next to the light that marks the season's slower turn.
