THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN, A POEM BY ROBERT FROST

Why The Road Not Taken, you ask?

Simply because when I first set about creating this piece, I was all set to make something simple, yes, I confess, something simple and quick and easy. But then, as it was coming together, it was so clear to me that this necklace held oodles of potential to be so much more. And that the "so much more" part would involve a whole lot of wrestling with wire and finger torturing.

After much (ok ok, not that much, I'm a sucker for pain :P) reflection, I decided to take the road less travelled and came up with this super duper intricate wire-wrapped piece you see before you. I just wish I knew of a more effective way to photograph Petal Pearls because their natural sheen is so reflective, my camera goes to auto underexposure mode!!

Anyways, just look at that MAGNIFICENT Rare Moss Amethyst in the heart of the pendant, surrounded by teeny tiny Pearls and even tinier 925 Sterling Silver Beads. Dangles are comprised of Amethyst Onion Briolettes and Smooth Champagne Citrine Teardrops, so IN now.

The back of the large Moss Amethyst Briolette (check out those lovely B&W needles and that subtle hint of purple) is neatly and securely held in place by an abstract crocheted net.

Dangling beneath all these treasures is a HUGE Labradorite Briolette. Sheela needs her shades.
