I've been working on this gorgeous necklace for days now. It's part of my new collection inspired by the experience of being Greek and memories of Greece. This necklace takes me back to the black sand volcanic beach on the island of Santorini. The beach is gorgeous and sparkles under the Mediterranean sun. I imagined that the necklace would be like that beach, with different surfaces, sharp and then smooth, safe and then daringly slippery, but always always sparkling.
The one of a kind clasp is a large vintage button with a domed shape and wonderful facets in a silvery gray, set in and trimmed in sterling silver. When I saw the silver teardrop crystals, the design came together in my mind. The teardrops would point in different directions, in two strands, and would be set off by large smooth vintage jet beads and smaller faceted crystals of different shapes...like on the beach. Other beads used here are hematite orbs and ovals, and This necklace can be worn in two ways. The clasp can be worn at the back so that the design at the center is showing. Or the clasp can be worn as the object of interest on the front of the necklace.
