When Peter and I stayed in Santorini a few years ago on our vacation of the four generations (Aunt Lu, myself, her 18 year old grandson, and my son who was 8 at the time), Peter and I had a room in the main building, and Aunt Lu and Michael had a "cave room" built into the side of the mountain with a view of the Caldera. To get from one room to the other, we'd go across a patio at the hotel that had a chessboard painted on the patio, and chess pieces that were the size of Peter. He loved pushing those pieces around the board. This clasp reminds me of that happy time, living on top of an island, seemingly on top of the world. The Chess Bracelet is composed of three strands, and will fit almost any size wrist, because it can be worn with the strands straight across, or with the strands twisted around each other any number of times, which will allow it to fit a smaller wrist. Light gray freshwater pearls play the board in a pattern with hematite squares and round black seed beads. The clasp is a vintage button set in, and embellished with sterling silver. Round clasp with square design, round seed beads with squares of hematite, and the salty freshwater pearls. The contrast of pure geometry with naturally formed shapes is always a favorite.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
