SeaSwept Series, Featured in Septembers Australian Beading magazine, Beach Heart Lampwork, Gemstone Necklace. Made to Order - Cary Martin Designs

Description

Conjured up by the Watery Spirits of the ocean depths.. A Mermaid’s jeweled adornment with it’s translucent gems glimmering in magical hues of the sea…

Another necklace in my Beach Heart Series - these pieces are made to order. This exact piece is sold. I do similar series pieces, each piece is unique in it's own right.

Dreamy, mesmerizing gemstones really bounce the light and are as stunning as glints on the ocean’s surface. I only use the VERY best gemstones in my work. Just check out the close ups!

The necklace is featured in the new beading magazine out of Sydney, "Australian Beading". It will be available stateside as well, at larger bookstores such as Barnes and Noble and Books a Million.

This piece features a fanciful Beach Heart by Mary Jarvis. The bead itself is a work of art. She even makes her own tiny Murini star’s for use in her beads, if you are into lampwork you know that is a big deal. The beads are beautiful and all one of a kind. She makes the beads so they are beautiful from either side. The BeachHeart measures 39 x 27mm.

I have used over 50 hand wrapped gemstone, Swarovski and sterling charms around the BeachHeart focal.
As you move around the necklace you then have a 12mm faceted Amazonite round, and a 10mm Amazonite round both with sterling beadcaps. You then have a Hill Tribe silver stylized shell cone and a Swarovski bicone. I have used two strands of sterling ring ring chain, this chain is so cool, it has lots of movement and is very visually appealing.

Toward the back of the necklace you come to a 15mm Hill Tribe scallop shell and then a 10mm Swarovski bicone. I have finished the necklace with my VERY favorite clasp. It is a fun swirl shape.

The back of the necklace is embellished with a Hill Tribe spiral pendant (26mm) several other gems and Swarovski, a sterling seashell charm and my signature sterling “M” round.

I have shots of both sides of the BeachHeart provided in the pix below.

This necklace measures 17 and 5/8inches. I will have several new Beach Babe pieces listing shortly.
