About the components of this piece:

SILVER: All metal components in my pieces are either fine or sterling silver, and I incorporate many, many Bali sterling beads into my work, as I appreciate the great attention to detail and the handmade beauty of these beads.

About BALI SILVER BEADS: Bali is a small island located in southeast Asia. Bali, Indonesia is known around the world for its silver jewelry made by master metal smiths. Each and every bead is made by hand by craftsmen exceptionally skilled in the trade. The attention to detail is apparent when you look at these beads close up. I have become addicted to Bali silver.

TURQUOISE: Turquoise is an opaque blue/green mineral of undeniable beauty. It is found in many varieties throughout the world, with the biggest concentrations in the USA, Afghanistan, China, Iran, Mexico and Israel.
I read once that the blue turquoise is male and comes from the sky, and that green turquoise is female and comes from the earth. In reality, the blue color comes from copper, and the green color comes from iron. Some varieties have more copper or more iron, thus resulting in different shades of turquoise.

Turquoise is almost always treated to make it harder and more durable. Treatment also helps to preserve the color and prevent fading. The turquoise in this piece has been treated to enhance its durability and to preserve the richness of the color.

AMETHYST: Amethyst is an amazing stone to work with. It's lovely deep purple color makes any piece look amazing. There are many positive metaphysical properties associated with wearing amethyst. Among many others, it is said to bring stability, peace, calm, balance, courage and inner strength.
