Pearl Necklace w/ Roman Glass and Garnets (Israel) |
|
| |
| An artist's touch is added to the old classic. An elegant strand of white fresh water pearls is marvelously enhanced by petite but brilliant charms, adding just the right touch of color and style. Three charms of roman glass alternate with two rich burgundy colored garnets, all bezel set in sterling silver and suspended gracefully from the pearls. The result is a striking balance between old world class and 21st century design, making this necklace perfect for the swankiest wedding or the most casual brunch. What a perfect gift for Mother's Day. The Roman glass shards in this necklace are found on archaeological digs in Israel where the cities of the Roman Empire used to be. A story card comes with the necklace that explains how the layers of color build up over a period of up to 2000 years. This necklace is made in a small, multi-ethnic studio in the north of Israel, between Haifa and Nazareth. Israelis, Russian emigres, and Bedouin women have continued to work together through the strife around them. Angie Olami, the designer of the necklace, writes, 'they are very heartened to see their work on Worldstock.com. It makes them feel connected to a world that they feel quite isolated from at the moment.' The handmade nature of this product will produce slight variations in form, color, and sizing. All measurements are approximate. |
