To the young Roozbeh, they were treasures, with mastery and accuracy visible even in the broken pieces. This pendant began as a clay dish Roozbeh made and then broke. Roozbeh chose the fragment with the most potential and translated it into sterling silver. One half is smooth and polished. The other carries a lattice pattern of interlocking petal forms and tiny dots in relief, darkened by oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-3 text-base leading-[27px] text-neutral-900 last:mb-0\" data-sentry-component=\"Paragraph\" data-sentry-source-file=\"agent-markdown.tsx\"\u003eWhen you wear it, you support a local Toronto artist and carry a piece of art on your own body, which becomes your personal gallery.
