The Second Summer Necklace celebrates the rich texture, deep warmth, and complex mineralogy of the late summer earth. Bringing together an array of rare geological specimens alongside expert studio craftsmanship, this statement necklace balances organic asymmetry with layered, light-catching depth.
I hand-fabricate the individual, contoured bezel frames and structural links from sterling silver, treating the outer bezel walls with a hand-applied diamond texture that creates a brilliant sparkle and depth. The focal layout brings multiple distinct elements into an elegant dialogue: a hand-shaped cold-worked glass piece intricately carved with undulating ridges, a dramatic slice of raw astrophyllite showcasing rare bladed "starburst" crystal clusters, a golden sheen sapphire, a rich spessartine garnet, and a faceted smoky quartz accent. The entire composition is suspended from an adjustable, handmade sterling silver multi-link chain.
Because I cut, carve, and polish the glass individually in my studio and curate each rare mineral specimen by hand, the precise configuration and natural crystal patterns belong strictly to this one-of-a-kind piece.
Hand-fabricated sterling silver, luminous cold-worked glass, raw astrophyllite, golden sheen sapphire, spessartine garnet, and smoky quartz.
Handmade sterling silver chain, adjustable up to 20".
Studio-crafted and one-of-a-kind.
