$75.00
This necklace was created in response to a weekly theme challenge from an Etsy group that I am so lucky to be a member of – the Wire Artisans Guild. Each week a member of the Guild chooses a theme and the artists in the group present their interpretations in the form of unique pieces of art jewelry.

I just love this color palette. The title of our weekly theme being "Spice Route", it conjured up a picture of intensley hued spices from all over the world.

The necklace was made by hand wrapping a heavy sterling silver base with super fine gauge sterling wire. The center, focus point of this necklace is adorned with 6 multicolored faceted rondelles of Dravite Tourmaline. A richly colored Smoky Topaz onion briolette is fastened to the frame, from which a faceted Carnelian briolette provides a bright burst of orange flash and color.

The four additional curved links that are wrapped in silver and more of the Tourmaline rondelles led to the handmade chain that is fastened with a sterling lobster clasp. All of the sterling has been oxidized.

This necklace is a total of 18" in length, and can be adjusted to your preferred length upon request.
