Precious Turquoise and Coral - Exotic Jewelry Design
***
The one-of-a-kind necklace pictured was designed for a patron who sought an extraordinary gift. The individual wanted something both regal and exotic. After presenting various choices of gems - the client selected the combination of coral beads and a free form turquoise cabachon; to be set in a burnished 14 karat white gold bezel. Sculpted mermaids and shells
are incorporated into the bezel that holds the turquoise gemstone accented by petite freshwater pearls
***
Numerous sketches were created after which a wax model of the ornate bezel was carved and cast in the lost wax casting process. This was a challenging piece to develop and fabricate. Due to the nature of a one-of-a-kind piece, I am able to catalyze variations of the materials and the client's concept.
***
Ultimately, as the the artist, I am working to develop a final piece that not only is beautiful but fulfills the customer's vision. Jewelry of this nature is personal, artistic, durable, and meaningful.
