~Wild Waves~ Gemstone Necklace

Posted by Mermaid Creek on 6/6/2007

This is one substantial piece! It's also a piece that took me a while to get just right. I really wanted to make sure that the labradorite had justice done to it.

~Wild Waves~ weighs 7.3 oz. I'm not really all that fond of the word chunky to describe a piece of jewelry but this is chunky! The focal is genuine labradorite and it's 49mm high by 35mm wide by 27mm deep. It's a 3-strand necklace with natural turquoise, cultured freshwater pearls in white and copper, and jade. Up toward the clasp are 2 oblong ovals of turquoise. All to enhance the beauty of the labradorite.

All of the findings are sterling silver including the sand dollar toggle clasp which is Karen Hill Tribe Thai Silver. This is my favorite toggle ever! Not easy to part with but it was perfect for this necklace!

This baby measure 20" in length but will wear more like an 18 1/2" to 19" necklace because of the style. The toggle itself measures 1 1/2" in length.

We are a small family based business creating original artisan designed jewelry. We use some special lampwork that we obtain directly from the wonderful artists! Gemstones are also sometimes included in our creations and all of our findings are sterling silver or 14kgf. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets are what we specialize in.

We are passionate about what we create and so enjoy the creation process of each piece, mostly one of a kind. Our inspiration comes from nature in the Adirondacks and frequent trips to the Atlantic. That's where 'Mermaid Creek' comes in. It's a combination of both, really. Mermaid comes from the goddess side of the family because that side LOVES to swim and has always been drawn to water. Rivers, Lakes, and the Ocean. As long as she's near water she's content as can be. It's a beautiful section of the country that we are so blessed to experience. A lot of good energy goes into the work we do.

In our listings you will sometimes find little blurbs at the beginning of the items. These little 'stories' have found themselves woven into the creations. Sometimes the story comes first and the creation follows and sometimes the creation comes first and tells the story. Either way it's great fun to be able to have it flow.
