I once stayed in a small inn at the foot of the Matterhorn Mountain in Switzerland. The clouds always hovered above the mountain - they drew up like a curtain in the morning and settled slowly down again at night. Glimpses of green could be seen between the clouds. These aquamarine shards and fresh water finger pearls, remind me somehow of that scene. Though surely, this necklace is brighter and less intimidating than the Matterhorn it does, in some way, reflect the rugged, untamed beauty of natural elements. It speaks of the uneven rhythms that still create an overall sense of harmony. I don't know that I have ever seen anything quite as marvelous as those mountains but, sometimes, stones or pearls or crystals or silver speak to me in that same voice, sing to me in that same hypnotic way - calling to me - filling me with a sense of the endless awe I feel for the natural world. This fabulous necklace, one of a kind, raw and rugged, elegant and dramatic will add a touch of untamed magic to your world. The elements are really, that wondrous! Make a statement - fashion is the child of nature, after all! Length: 17"
