Chert and Slate with Quartz necklace




Chert and Slate with Quartz necklace
These pebbles were all collected from Devon and Cornwall. Beautiful Slate with a Quartz intrusion and orange Chert.
All stones have been naturally polished by the sea against the sand and have not been altered by me except to wrap them…
Made using a wire bezel technique I created, which is kind of a cross between basketry and weaving. It is a time consuming technique but a labour of love. Each piece of sea glass is securely and artistically encased in a delicate wire frame.
Surgical stainless steel findings. Highest quality stainless steel does not rust or tarnish, a hard wearing metal with a finish like antique sterling. Also suitable for people with metal allergies, stainless steel is used predominantly in the medical profession as people are less likely to react to it.
Size – See photo of me wearing. Necklace length adjustable up to 20 inches. Worn on longest length in photo.
