ARTISAN JEWELRY made by HAND in the USA

I designed and beaded this two-strand choker in a smoke-free home. I used a color palette to celebrate summer at the seashore with lots of blue, green and gray. The rectangular hemalyke beads are shiny gray and very attention-getting. I also used slate gray howlite beads and set the stones off with big blue and green glass beads.

The look is unusual and reminds me of the tidepools where I grew up, with the shiny beads reminiscent of sea shells glistening on the wet grey rocks.
The smaller strand measures 15 3/4 inches and the longer strand is 17 3/4 inches long. (UK dimensions: 40 cm x 45 cm) The big barrel clasp is silver toned as pictured. As you can see, I fashioned the wire connector out of heavy stainless steel for an old-fashioned hippie artisan look.
Even though hemalyke is a man-made material, it is made with iron oxide (just like hematite) and is believed to share the healing qualities of reason and harmony. Howlite is also believed to replace anger with calm and to improve memory. Regardless of these healing properties, I love the weight and coolness of stones around my neck!
