ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES CANNOT BE REPRODUCED EXACTLY, BUT I WELCOME INQUIRIES FOR WORK INSPIRED BY PIECES IN THE ARCHIVE. STONES, FOUND OBJECTS AND OTHER MATERIALS WILL VARY, ALLOWING EACH NEW PIECE TO BECOME SOMETHING ENTIRELY ITS OWN.
THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND HAND-KNOTTED NECKLACE CENTERS AROUND A TIBETAN BUDDHA PENDANT, PAIRED WITH A VIVID MIX OF FACETED AGATE RONDELLES, GREEN AVENTURINE, GLASS BEADS, AND ANTIQUE SILVER-PLATED ACCENTS. THE PALETTE MOVES THROUGH GARDEN GREENS, LAVENDER, DEEP BERRY, GOLDEN AMBER, AND TURQUOISE, GIVING THE PIECE A LUSH, COLLECTED FEEL.
A SCULPTURAL CIRCLE MADE FROM AN UPCYCLED GUITAR STRING FRAMES THE PENDANT, WRAPPED WITH SILVER-PLATED WIRE TO CONNECT THE PIECE BACK TO THE MUSICAL ROOTS OF THE COLLECTION. TWO PATINA COPPER BEADS FROM GREECE ADD TEXTURE NEAR THE TOP OF THE DESIGN, AND THE NECKLACE IS HAND-KNOTTED ON SILK FOR A FLUID, NATURAL DRAPE. FINISHED WITH AN ANTIQUE SILVER TOGGLE CLASP FROM GREECE.
