Striped Granite Necklace retailer and Earring Set

Some of the granite found in the Siskiyou Mountains has impressive ribbons (or intrusions) of quartz running through it. The edges of the individual crystals in the rock sparkle in the sunlight. This necklace and earring set mimic the look of that granite, without the weight. I wire-wrapped gunmetal grey beads from Kazuri Ceramic together with grey and white striped paper beads from Uganda. Surrounding each bead are gold-plated daisy spacers, which make quite a sophisticated statement. The necklace is 22 inches long and closes with an easy spring clasp.

The inspiration photo retailer is also available as a print. Please convo me if you are interested.
