Hot off the workbench today ...


... is my one-of-a-kind, insanity-inducing Sea Anemone necklace.


I labored long and hard over this one. Studded with fine silver seashells including my favorite scotch bonnet shell plus a keyhole limpet, tiny scallops and a precious wentletrap surrounding a beautiful borosilicate cabochon, I added lots of casting grain to represent air bubbles. The necklace itself is strung on a double chain ... one is a textured and oxidized sterling silver open link chain; the other a strand of borosilicate beads and impression jasper rondelles. I added sterling silver bead caps with a wavy pattern and finished the necklace off with a sterling toggle clasp. I like it! :D
