Long Overdue Update!

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I've posted because I'm nearing the end of my dissertation and PhD program and most of my time has been devoted to writing, revising, and researching. My free time has been devoted to trying to have a little fun! I'm still designing things, I just need to finish some pieces and post them for sale.

In the meantime, enjoy these pictures :-)

Sage Necklace: Jasper & Pyrite Statement Necklace

This one-of-a-kind necklace features beautiful and unique turquoise jasper stones accented by free-form pyrite nuggets.   The necklace is reversible as the Guanyin (Kwan Yin) centerpiece and replica Chinese dynasty coins are double-sided.  The jasper stones have a warm, wavelike sage green color with deep brown bands and the pyrite, also called Fool's Gold, really brings out the beauty of the jasper and the antique bronze coin pieces.

Guanyin is the Bodhisattva of compassion and is believed to observe or hear the cries of the world; on the back of this quarter-sized centerpiece is the yin yang symbol.   The dynasty coins, which are penny-sized, bring luck with a dragon on one side and Chinese characters on the other.

This distinctive necklace is as stunning as it is bohemian and is sure to bring compliments.  It is moderate weight and closes with an adjustable antique bronze toggle clasp that adjusts from 14 3/4" to 16 1/4".

The last two pictures show the reverse side of the necklace.
