This angular necklace has been made by Dorothy Erickson. Its an alternative play on your regular beaded necklace. The red jasper beads are wide and flat and as the total length of the necklace is 39cm, when wearing this it sits high on your neck like a choker. The beads are triangular and measure at 31mm tall. Even though the triangles do come to points, each of the jasper beads are rounded enough that there is no risk of being caught on an edge or corner.
Measurements: 39cm long, 31mm tall and 5mm thick
Materials: Sterling silver, red jasper
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
