Sometimes I can be so inspired by a color, by a texture, by the tiniest detail. I came across some gorgeous white magnesite and had to create a necklace from this interesting stone. It reminded me of marble, with delicate little veins of black and brown throughout….I was instantly inspired!
I call this necklace Venice. It is created from 6mm, 10mm and 15mm magnesite rounds, gold plated corrugated spacers and heishi beads, ending with a detailed gold plated toggle clasp.
