Sandstone and Cobalt Necklace

Sandstone and Cobalt Necklace

£55.00

Pretty pale pink Sandstone has been paired with some vibrant Cobalt Glass. The recycled glass beads from Ghana. I love the unpolished texture of these beads, they almost look grainy and frosty like stones, and because each one is handmade from crushed glass pressed into moulds, each bead is slightly different and irregular. Love the colour combo in this one. A nice statement piece. 

Pebble has been smoothed by the sea against the sand so has a nice smooth surface. 

Collected from Southwick, Brighton.

An unusual stone to find in Brighton, don’t really find much sandstone round here, so I am wondering if its not local and was part of some industrial leftovers from the nearby port. Its a stunning porous texture and has a gorgeous pink hue from iron oxidising, possibly hematite present in stone. 

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.

Necklace is 20-24 inches long with extender chain. 

See photo of me wearing for length.
