Branching Out

​Sterling, stainless, stick pearls, Alaskan coral
$400
An inner guidance or perception inspired the idea of using Alaskan Coral in a necklace. But persistence allowed the piece to transform many times into its final state. The original stone changed to a smaller version and with that change came the addition of three stick pearls. The Metal Lace scaled down to a delicate piece to highlight the coral. How the Alaskan Coral hung from the Metal Lace required ingenuity in a silver clutch-like form. Repetition of the graceful, silver shape within the Metal Lace itself drew it to completion.
