No. 49 – Crimson Earth & Copper – 20" Necklace

Warm as hearthstone, rich as ancient earth — a necklace that carries the weight of centuries.

No. 49 moves through a deep, sensual palette of burgundy and cream. Rich red tiger eye rounds — their surfaces alive with silky chatoyance — alternate with carved bone rectangle beads bearing ancient script-like motifs, each one a quiet reference to a world before writing was standardized. Gold metallic rounds and pale blue crystal faceted beads thread through the composition, lifting the warmth with flashes of sky and light. Soft purple wood rounds add an unexpected earthy contrast near the clasp.

At the center, the pendant is extraordinary: a large teardrop of striated cream shell — its surface layered like sediment, like geology — completely encased in an elaborate copper wire wrap of scrolls, coils, and woven bands. This is hours of craft held in a single piece.
