Cast from a real peregrine falcon talon using the lost wax process, this pendant captures the original form exactly — every joint, angle, and hooked point preserved in recycled sterling silver. The tip is finished in 23.5K gold applied via keum-boo — an ancient Korean gilding technique that bonds gold directly to silver through heat and pressure. It does not peel. It does not fade.

Set with a 3mm rainbow moonstone cabochon. Moonstone is a feldspar mineral that carries adularescence — light that appears to move inside the stone rather than bounce off it. Blue-white, shifting, caught differently at every angle. The cabochon cut is what makes this visible. The dome holds the phenomenon intact. Facets would destroy it.

Moonstone has been worked into talisman objects across cultures and centuries — wherever people noticed that certain stones do something in the light that others don't. It reads as a stone of cycles and interior perception. Intuition that functions especially well when visibility is low.

The peregrine falcon dives faster than any other animal on earth — precision, not speed for its own sake. It sees the opening before others register it. A moonstone set into a falcon talon is a talisman for exactly that: the kind of vision that operates beneath the obvious.
