‘C’ Spirit Pin/Pendant
Lyle Wilson
CA$600.00Sterling silver, Textured, Engraved
2013
“This group of pendants, brooches and earrings were inspired by an earlier painting of mine entitled ABC’s: Reconstituted, 2011. The subject matter is the English alphabet rendered in the Pacific Northwest Coast (PNC) formline style. It is my recognition that educational ideals are steadily becoming incorporated into the fabric of PNC people’s lives. That’s a good thing, and these jewelry pieces are my little way of recognizing the importance of continuing modern educational ideals.”

Gax̄ & New Moon Pendant
Lyle Wilson
CA$1,700.001976 Montreal Olympiad $5 Dollar Silver Coin, Deeply Sculpted, Engraved, Textured
2014
“This pendant was inspired by two slightly separated events. While at the beach during a late afternoon, I watched a raven hopping around and hunting for something to eat on the beach. Shortly afterwards, as daylight faded rapidly to dusk, a new crescent moon became visible. It was beautiful and reminded me of Raven’s role in releasing the Ball of Light.
The silver coin is thicker than standard silver stock, so it allows me to carve extra deep to give a sculptural look to the pendant. The pendant’s back is left as is to show its beginnings as a coin.”

Trophy Pendant
Lyle Wilson
CA$1,700.001976 Montreal Olympiad $5 Dollar Silver Coin, Deeply Sculpted, Engraved, Textured
2014“This pendant is an example of the traditional Pacific Northwest Coast formline style being adapted to show a relatively modern event. About 30 years ago, my uncle G’psgolox (Dan Paul Sr.) took me to visit some Tsimshian relatives at their fishing camp, which was located way out, and close to the open ocean. G’psgolox stayed in his bigger boat while a Tsimshian friend took me trolling in a small boat. Using a rod and reel, we hooked the biggest spring salmon that I’ve ever caught – over 40 pounds. The size of that salmon has remained in my mind ever since and so I memorialized that event in this silver coin.
The silver coin is thicker than standard silver stock, so it allows me to carve extra deep to give a sculptural look to the pendant. The pendant’s back is left as is to show its beginnings as a coin.”
