Chrysophrase Caged...The Whimsey Necklace

Description

The Whimsey, our signature necklace design, combines multiple strands of seed beads and chain, wire-wrapped asymmetrical accents, hammered silver circles, and the most interesting centerpiece/pendant stones we can find. They are all one-of-a-kind.

We love green, so naturally, chrysophrase has to be one of our favorite stones. We found these small natural slabs and fell in love with them. They are gnarly and bumby and a lovely green.

We wire-wrapped this stone, herringbone style to form a cage around it, in sterling silver wire and organically wrapped the bail. The stone is matched with four light mint Czech glass seed bead strands with two floating freely above the stone with a silver chain.

For our asymmetrical look, the right side holds a perfect cultured freshwater coin pearl wire-wrapped like a small package, and on the left, a hammered circle with our signature swoosh. This time the dangle is pearl.

We finished the necklace with various chains and our own sterling hammered clasp with two pearls at the back of the neck.

Details:
Length: a tad over 16 inches.
Gemstone with bail measures: 1 1/2 inches.
Gemstone alone: 1 inch long.
Chain types: sterling silver rolo, long and short

We use only the highest quality nickel-free silver, never any base metal.

Chrysophrase Caged comes with its own Whimsey box for storage and travel, with instructions for long term care of this special piece. (See bottom right thumbnail).

Whimseys are made to be worn around the collar bone and not as a choker. We can adjust the size if you need longer or shorter. Please email us. If you have not ever seen one being worn, please go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/whimseyville for a photo of Erin wearing her personal Whimsey.

Please contact us if you need earrings.

Thank you for visiting Whimsey...Pam and Erin
