N°19 Christmas 2024 Special Set

This one really needs no words- an Ethiopian cross making love to an entire strand of salmon- tangerine organic Biwa pearls. I added some Amazonite, Carnelian & Agates into the mix to give rise to a feel good, vivacious set.  And of course you can layer the necklaces, wear them individually or connect them for a long necklace!

For the first decade of making jewellery,  I have never used religious symbols, but I have to admit I have been completely drawn to these Ethiopian crosses; admittedly initially from an aesthetic point of point of view. But unlike crosses in western Christianity, the artisans of Ethiopia are being allowed the freedom to exercise a measure of individual taste and creativity in their choice of shape and patterns. Besides the aesthetic, it is the symbolism of the elaborate & intertwined latticework representing everlasting life that I find myself attracted to.
 
And while this might be not a logical connection for many of you - for me the cross has strong visual links to coral reef basket stars (I can't take the Marine Biologist out of my brain - but neither do I want to; see image below).

This one-of-a-kind statement set is made from the following semi-precious stones and findings:

  • Verdigris Ethiopian Cross
  • Pearls from Shanghai
  • Agates from Brazil
  • Carnelian from India
  • Onyx from Brazil
  • recycled glass beads from  Indonesia
  • 22k gold-plated beads and parts from Istanbul 
  • Necklaces: short, can be varied via the extender chain or CONNECTED to create one mid- to long necklace!
  • Statement Earrings length: 7cm
  • A second small pair of earrings is set into elegant French ear wires, for when you want a little less!

The Set will be beautifully gift-wrapped and ready as an exceptional gift for yourself or an unexpected gift for someone special.
