As a native New Mexican I love the southwest! This necklace in particular celebrates my 2 favorite places- The ocean ( think clear, aqua blue water drops and pearls), and the desert ( lots of vertebrae! my favorite!). 6 Stainless steel chains feature 6 vertebrae of varying size. There are 2 smooth freshwater pearls, one cream, and one brown- but it's the 3 double pearls that make this a truly stunning piece. 7 aqua glass drops bring this together as the perfect marriage of elements, water and land. This is a special edition as I have no plans to do another bone, glass, and stone design with these features.
{The first time I saw jewelry featuring snake vertebra I just knew that was something I wanted to work with. It took some experimenting, but these multi-strand chain necklaces quickly became my favorite way to showcase these awesome pieces of nature. The little differences in each bone make any design that incorporates them unique. Whether it's the distinctive color, texture, shape, or even sound of natural bone that catches your attention, I believe you will love these designs as much as I do.}
24" not including 3" chain extension. Stainless steel chains, sterling findings, hypoallergenic.
These necklaces are meant to be worn a bit twisted and have been designed to prevent knots and tangles, however, I STRONGLY recommend storing them clasped and hanging to prevent annoying entanglement.
*All vertebrae used in my work are sourced from fellow Etsy community members.
