ON THE ROCKS


From that cache of rock crystal I found, I made two necklaces, both with black onyx. This is the second one -- crystal paired with 8 mm faceted onyx balls. For a clasp, I used a hammered silver spiral hook and eye. The crystal, being natural and all that, is filled with occlusions and shards of faint color, in this case, some form of black residue (coal, perhaps or black tourmaline?) I love how funky the beads are next to the precision of the faceted onyx. A study in contrasts.
Price: $300.
