Hand Rolled Royal Necklace

This is a royal necklace made with cotton hand silk-screened paper rolled into beads. The accents of the necklace are cherry quartz diamond beads, and peacock pearls. This is definitely an eye catcher, and whoever wears it is very special. 

Detail of the focal bead. Hand rolled paper, sealed with resin. 
These beads are not water proof. They resist sweat, perfume and regular use, but they cannot be submerged in water. 

Ocean and Earth (Clay and pearl necklace)

Lately I have been combining media to create my jewelry. I loved this combination of 
peacock pearls and Atzompa hand made and oven baked clay beads. The hand made beads are beautiful, and crafter one by one by Atzompa artisans. I respect very much their work and whenever I can I visit Atzompa for pieces of clay. 


This is the view of the front of the necklace.

Volcano and Ocean Asymmetrical Necklace



Lava rock big rondelles, coral branches, peacock pearls, and squared pearls with rounded lentil coral beads. This is a statement necklace. Definitely a conversation piece, the asymmetry brings the beauty of each of the components. An eye catcher!

Secured metal clasp.
