This West Coast serpentine breastplate carries a quiet, grounded presence shaped by both land and sea. Worn smooth by time and tide before carving, it holds a subtle, organic texture that speaks to its coastal origins.
The breastplate form sits broad and protective across the chest, traditionally symbolizing strength, guardianship, and a sense of responsibility. Its shape creates a feeling of balance and shelter—often worn as a reminder to stand steady, protect what matters, and move through life with quiet confidence.
This West Coast serpentine, was sourced along the rugged coastlines where it has been naturally weathered and tumbled by the ocean. Unlike harder stones, serpentine is softer and more responsive to carving, allowing for fluid, tactile forms like this one. Its colour can range from deep forest green to olive and even bluish hues, often carrying unique mineral flecks or subtle patterning formed over millions of years - making it truly one-of-a-kind.
