The sea has given us yet another treasure. Pearls, for sure, but tiny little peach-tinted freshwaters coupled with uniform rounds of Angel Skin coral, finished off with peach-tinted moonstone rounds. And that's only the torsade which displays the piece-de-resistance -- a spectacular faceted peach quartz pendant set off in sterling silver. Again, this is a necklace of pure serendipity. I buy these pieces, pendants that are by themselves a little odd or maybe hard to match and then, visualize them in a special setting. This was a fairly large pendant that needed something substantial, which dictated a torsade, but a delicate one. What a wonderful surprise for hot summer nights and sunny summer days.
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.
