This elegant piece from Dorothy Erickson is a beatiful four strand beaded labradorite necklace. The shortest strand is 40cm long and the others sit closely under it, this sits right on the collarbone and adds extra shine to an outfit. The beads appear as grey but the labradorescence pushes through bright flashes of blue and light hints of green. The beads are small and irregular in shape so each strand is built completely uniquely.
All of these pieces are brought together at the clasp which is gold plated sterling silver, and adds a bright warm shine to the necklace.
Materials: Labradorite, gold plated sterling silver, thread
Measurements: 40cm long
Australian Master artist-jeweller and author, Dorothy Erickson, hails from Western Australia and has been exhibiting her jewellery internationally since 1979. Erickson draws inspiration for her many collections on different aspects of geometry, the wild and domesticated landscapes of Western Australia and in later collections the paintings of Gustav Klimt. Some of her later collections are also based off the wildflower paintings of her mother Rica Erickson. You can see these influences come through in her use of form, texture, colour and material
