There is nothing simpler or more elegant than a single strand of beads. These are more than just simple. They're Botswana agate, polished to a spectacular shine and strung opera length to look great with a turtleneck or a pristine white shirt. The colors are earthy -- tones of rust, brown, black, beige, gray, cream -- and the Mother Earth patterns are varied and interesting. Rugged but sophisticated at the same time, Botswana agate is like a gemstone Jack-of-All-Trades -- it can be worn with anything, anywhere and still be appropriate.
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.
