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! A precious pearl held by the golden swirling sea grasses is presented for your pleasure. Accept the gift and be reminded of the beauty of the sea and all it offers . . . and of Neptune!
As with all my neckpieces, it is formed to rest comfortably flowing over the curves of a woman's neck and shoulders.
Hand forged from mild steel and set with a large flameball pearl, this neckpiece is given a black heat patina and gilded with 23K gold leaf. It has a 17" diameter with a 2.5" drop front. 23K gold is applied to the steel to give it a historical feel, as though it has been around for centuries. It is then sprayed with Permalac, a microfine protectant which bonds to the metals protecting it from time and the elements.
