Elegant, yet dramatic, "Kathmandu Dreams I" is the first necklace in my Kathmandu Dreams series. The focal point of this necklace is the solid brass pendant with intricate lotus flower detail and turquoise and coral inlay, which was designed and handmade by a Nepalese artisan. Free-form green turquoise beads, handcrafted reconstituted blue turquoise beads, faceted and square cut brick red jasper beads, and Tierracast gold plated pewter Turkish and smooth rondelles complete this one-of-a-kind necklace.
The free-form green turquoise beads, which are a lovely blend of viridian and blue inflections, have a beautiful, rich matrix. The handcrafted blue reconstituted turquoise beads are unique and echo the texture of the pendant. Both varieties of turquoise coupled with the rich, red jasper, and Tierracast beads create harmony with the Nepalese pendant, which rests on a piece of starry, midnight blue goldstone.
Slightly over 1 ¾" by 2 ½" (including the bail), the pendant weighs about a 1/2 lb. This necklace is of light to moderate weight with 19 1/2" of stones and is 21" with the antiqued gold flower toggle clasp.
