Arctic Storm necklace

Description

I just fell in love with this bead as soon as it was made. Various shades of white, icy cool blues and a touch of peach in the sky, made into wisps and waves give the bead a paradoxical feel of dramatic turbulence and serenity at the same time. How can that happen? While the image is one of a storm at sea, the colors are cool and calming, and the color blends are soft and subtle, largely in part by the use of enamels in this bead. A thin band of blue aventurine around each end gives it a touch of added sparkle.

I opted for a simple setting to highlight the focal bead, so it is set between two conical sterling silver bead caps, and has a simple double loop bail that is made from fine (99.9% pure) silver, with a tiny ball at the bottom to hold the bead on. It is strung onto a sterling silver Omega chain, that is 1.2mm in diameter, and 16" in length. A closeup of the links and the clasp are shown. The chain is stiff, and holds its shape, making this a relatively short necklace, that places the pendant bail right in the little hollow of my medium-sized neck. The pendant measures 48mm not including the bail.

My beads are all produced, and my jewelry all assembled by me in my home studio. No two pieces are ever identical! All my glass beads are digitally kiln annealed and thoroughly cleaned, to ensure durability and beauty for years to come.

It is my number one priority to offer you a one of a kind piece of art that you will love! If you are not satisfied, I will happily give you a full refund, minus shipping costs.

I'll ship anywhere. Please inquire first about international shipping rates if this applies to you.
