Mid Summer Night's Dream

So this is a piece that I've been working on and off for the past few months now.... Didn't really mean for it to get so complicated at the begining, but somehow it just "evolved", though I am happy with the result! And definitely happy that "IT" is telling me it's done! You know how that goes...

Previously named Summer Garden, though doesn't seem so appropriate now.... There are so much details in this piece that I've definitely tried to show in these photos and hopefully, enough to convey....

This whole story started with that gorgeous SRA lampwork bead focal made by Patsy Evins, framed with scrolls and coils of Sterling Silver, embellished with Carnelian (Orange Chalcedony), Prehnite, Tanzanite, Madeira Citrine, Red Spinel. With a huge 46 carats of faceted GEM Lemon Quartz at the bottom.

Full length of this necklace is approximately 30 inches in length, finished with a hook/eye clasp so it's adjustable to desire length. Focal measures at approximately 3.5 inches in length.

This piece is heavily oxydized, which in my opinion works the best with all the gems and details of this piece. But if you're interested in this yet prefer the slightly polished oxydized look, I'll be more than happy to do so!
