Here is a very early necklace design I created using a found metal object as the focal piece. This piece has an ancient look about it. I used knotted linen cord to finish this piece. I did sell this jewelry design. I love the textures and the use of 23K gold leaf.

This is a Ruby Olive design. I love the asymmetrical bead treatment and the toggle and clasp closing for this necklace. I wish that I owned this necklace!
