LA MER

I've been humming this tune for the longest time (La Mer • Charles Trénet • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd_nopTFuZA) and was inspired to create 'The Sea' Collection...Hope you are inspired as well - Why not head down to the beach before Summer ends...

ARCTIC : Enamel* Pendant with Rhodium Ring and Chain $55
SOLD

*note : Vitreous (type of enameling process) enamel is glass bonded by fusion to a metal surface.



















ATLANTIC : Metal Clay* inset with Cubic Zirconia Gems (Capri, Aquamarine, Sapphire & Black) on Rhodium Bracelet Chain and Toggle Clasp $55

*note : Metal clay is a clay-like medium used to make jewelry, beads and small sculpture. It consists of very small particles of precious metals (such as silver, gold or platinum) mixed with an organic binder and water. Metal clay can be shaped just like any soft clay, by hand. After drying, it can be fired in a variety of ways including in a kiln, with a handheld gas torch, or on a gas stove. (source : Wikipedia)




 

PACIFIC : Blue Banded Agate* with Howlite** Beads on Rhodium Chain $65

*note : Agate, banded beauty — No gemstone is more creatively striped by Nature than agate, chalcedony quartz that forms in concentric layers in a wide variety of colours and textures. Each individual agate forms by filling a cavity in host rock. As a result, agate is often found as a round nodule, with concentric bands like the rings of a tree trunk. The bands sometimes look like eyes, fanciful scallops, or even a landscape with trees. (source : International Colored Gemstone Association)

**note : Howlite, a calcium borosilicate hydroxide, is a silicate mineral, discovered at Tick Canyon, California in 1868 by Henry How (1828 - 1879), a Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist. Because of its porous texture, howlite can be easily dyed to imitate other minerals, especially turquoise because of the superficial similarity of the veining patterns. (source : Wikipedia)
