Northwoods Necklace
Sterling silver - reclaimed
Royston Ribbon turquoise
Golden Hills turquoise
Sterling silver 16" chain
Oh how I love this necklace. There are a few reasons but mostly because it reminds me of the deep woods; coming up on a midnight moon and seeing the flow of a moonlit river. Evergreens blanketing the banks of the river and providing a hiding place for the animals that like to roam at night. I could just jump into it.
Made with love - one of a kind, twisted, bent, set, sawn, etched, fired by my own two hands.
Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost more because of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
