What color are these spectacular beads? Brown or rust just doesn't cut it. Root beer, maybe? The color of a smashed beer bottle? Certainly not elegant. But cognac, deep golden brown, and satisfying may do it. I love these beads. They're substantial, faceted to catch a subtle ray of light and set off by the vivid turquoise, albeit veined with deep copper. Glass may keep the price of this beauty down, but certainly not its elegance and impact.
The daughter of a jeweler, Cynthia Robins was a deadline reporter for 35 years, 25 of them working for Hearst in San Francisco. In 2002, she moved to the desert and began a new career as a jeweler. She brings the same kind of curiosity and intensity to her jewelry. She considers herself a human minah bird, attracted to the glitter and sparkle of gemstone and crystal. As an ex-fashion columnist, she brings an innate sense of color, texture and line to her pieces. As the daughter of a jeweler, her curiosity about and love of gemstones was bred in the blood.
