Sea Palling Iolite Necklace | The creator of this piece says: For this piece I wanted intimate how the sea - beautiful but menacing - is threatening our coastline. Sea Palling is a village on the North Norfolk coast which is under threat from coastal erosion. I tried to capture both the beauty of the sea and the threat in this necklace of inky blue iolite and dark hessonite garnet representing the land.
To make the necklace, I strung three strands of iolite buttons and one strand of hessonite garnet rounds, with a few hessonite on one of the garnet strands. I made two sterling silver findings, with a wrapped loop at one end to which I crimped each of the strands. |
I placed a sterling silver bead cap over each finding.
I placed a hessonite bead on the finding where it emerged from the bead cap, ready to make another wrapped loop to hold the two strands of iolite (with one hessonite bead at each end) which form the back of the necklace. The two strands are crimped, between two 2.5mm silver beads, at both the clasp and finding ends. |
