Kaylee's Wedding Necklace (Lampwork and Semi Precious Stone)

Description

Kaywinnit Lee Frye, mechanic and Ship Whisperer from Joss Whedon's Firefly series and subsequent Serenity movie, loves strawberries. I'm pretty sure she'd accept her wages in strawberries if she could. And as perky and drawn to frippery as she is, she's terminally poor like her shipmates. But...if she were to marry someone like a doctor, shouldn't she have only the best?

This necklace began with my fondling an entire tray of Leah Fairbanks (http://www.leahfairbanks.com) beads at the Glass Expo in Las Vegas. I must have come back a dozen times to look for just the right one. Finally, as I was getting ready to leave, there it was! Her husband (who sells here as http://opalillusions.etsy.com) had just put out some new ones to replace the sold ones, and my perfect bead was there!

Gorgeous lampwork focal, featuring ripe strawberries and a beautiful strawberry flower set with an 18k gold bezel and a genuine faceted ruby! The design is just incredible, with multiple layers of glass, fine silver mesh, even dichroic accents.

To compliment this piece, I've chosen only sterling silver accents and genuine stone, specifically selected to match the focal in terms of quality and color. Faceted garnets, peridot, and moonstones combined with sterling silver daisy spacers and a sterling silver toggle clasp create the necklace. The bail is a sterling silver swirl with fine details. Below the focal bead hangs a mass of faceted moonstones on sterling headpins, with a beautiful twist-cut garnet briolette at the very bottom.

Truly one of a kind. Focal is approximately 3" (7.6cm) from the bail to the bottom garnet. Necklace is approximately 17" (43cm) depending on how twisted the strands are worn.
