Aquamarine Double Strand Necklace

Aquamarine chip beads, cultured freshwater oval seed pearls, beading wire, sterling silver findings, handmade sterling silver toggle clasp | ~18"

Aquamarine is a stone of thresholds: the color of shallow water over pale sand, of early morning before the sky commits to blue. These chips are pale and translucent, the kind of green-blue that shifts with the light and the season. Not saturated, not insistent. Present in the way that water is present.

Paired here with cultured freshwater seed pearls that echo the aquamarine's quiet without repeating it. The two strands move independently and settle together. The toggle clasp is handmade in sterling silver, fabricated to suit the weight and mood of the piece. The findings are sterling throughout.

Part of the Studio Jewelry line: made with the same attention as the atelier work, in forms that can be worn every day.
