SS24 Nº 007 —— Nature’s Origin | Grandidierite Compass Coin · Necklace

A reverse-set Grandidierite rests within a 12 mm Compass Coin, framed by the Gold-vermeil Compass Star and Universe Burst detailing. A Phoenix is engraved on the reverse, while two Teal Sapphire markers bring depth and refinement to the design.

The sterling silver coin is suspended from a fine necklace chain created for everyday wear and available in selected yellow- or rose-gold finishes.

Designed and hand-finished in Melbourne.

Each Grandidierite and Teal Sapphire is hand-selected for its colour, clarity and natural character, ensuring every jewel is subtly its own.

The Anima Mundi ~ The Wheel of Life™ is Melana’s living compass of direction, element, season, archetype and alchemy. Each jewel is positioned within the Wheel to reveal the current it carries and the transformation it is designed to support.

Anchored in the West and aligned with Water in Early Autumn, Nature’s Origin carries the pioneering phase of the Wheel—where the surface softens, the inner world stirs and perception begins to open beyond ordinary sight.

Guided by the Owl of west and the alchemic work of Dissolution, it supports spiritual sensitivity, crossing liminal spaces, ritual awareness and clean, energetic boundaries.

Grandidierite helps the wearer receive subtle impressions without dissolving into them—a jewel for honouring mystery without losing centre.

The Seven Soul Gates are the seven points through which a jewel’s position within the Wheel is decoded.

Together, they reveal who guides the piece, the transformation it carries, the life areas it speaks to, the virtues it strengthens, what raises and grounds its energy, and when its current may be
entered.

This piece feels like standing at the edge of water at dusk—where everything becomes quieter, but somehow more alive.

Grandidierite has always held a rare kind of depth for me. It feels contained, ancient and almost private, like a stone that does not reveal everything at once. I wanted the Compass Coin to become a point of orientation when intuition feels strong, but the body needs steadiness.

There are times when sensitivity can feel too open. This piece was created for the opposite experience: perception with protection, softness with structure and mystery with a clear centre.

My hope is that Nature’s Origin helps you trust your inner sight without becoming lost in it.

With awe & wonder,

Mel x
