The 'Earth Mother' Pendant Necklace
The 'Earth Mother' necklace in sterling silver, made on the Isle of Arran by Jess MacDonald Brass
Introducing 'Earth Mother' - the Pachamama Talisman—a pendant rooted in the nurturing force and sacred presence of Pachamama, the revered Andean goddess of the land. More than an adornment, it is a symbol of connection, grounding, and reverence for the cycles of nature.
Pachamama, the eternal guardian of the earth, embodies the mountains, rivers, and fertile valleys that sustain life. She is the pulse beneath our feet, the breath in the wind, and the rhythm of the seasons. Her presence is felt in the towering peaks that touch the sky, the lush greenery that flourishes under her care, and the endless cycles of growth and renewal woven into nature itself.
She is not separate from us but intertwined with our very existence—our lives rise and fall with the tides of her wisdom, just as the mountains stand firm, shaped by time and resilience. She gives abundantly and asks only for respect in return, teaching that true harmony comes from living in balance, honouring the land, and recognizing that we are part of something greater, we are nature too. We are rooted in her, sustained by her, and called to protect the world she nurtures—her gift and our responsibility are one.
Wearing the *Earth Mother* necklace is an affirmation of unity with the planet—a talisman for those who seek grounding, renewal, and a deeper connection to the natural world. Pachamama, steadfast and generous, cradles all life in her embrace, guiding with quiet strength, nourishing with unwavering care. Like the mountains that stand resilient, she reminds us that we are part of something vast, something sacred. This piece embodies her presence, an unwavering guardian of earth and soul, urging you to honor the land, embrace its gifts, and walk forward with gratitude and purpose.
This round amulet-style pendant, Earth Mother holds symbols of land, life, and sacred balance. Four triangles radiate from the compass points, evoking the mountains of the Andes, while four pyramids at the centre mirror Incan temples — guardians of ancient wisdom. At the heart lies the life spiral, symbolising the continuous cycle of birth, growth, and renewal. The stepped motif, drawn from the Chakana cross, represents the spiritual journey — a sacred stairway between worlds, reminding us that we are always rising, always returning to the earth that holds us.

My jewellery is individually hand-crafted or made in small batch production which is hand-finished - this is reflected in the final finish of each piece. This means that it will not be the same as machine made or mass-produced jewellery. Instead, it gives each of my designs a special artisanal touch.
