Transformation and the Energy within . . . My art is about inviting the richness of Possibility to others' lives.
Message
Neptune, god of the sea, delights in giving gifts. This one a precious pearl held by the golden swirling sea grasses. Accept the gift and be reminded of the beauty of the sea and all it offers.
This neckpiece features a large flameball pearl cradled by forged steel gilded with 23K gold leaf. The 23K gold is applied to the steel to give it a historical feel, as though it has been around for centuries. Before the pearl is set, the steel is finished with Permalac, a microfine protectant which bonds to the metals protecting it from time and the elements.
Selected by Artistar Jewels for their art jewelry exhibition in Milan, Italy 2017.
As with all my neckpieces, it is formed to rest comfortably flowing over the curves of a woman's neck and shoulders.
