Collar and earrings, made by the same artist, are fabricated using mill-rolled sterling silver sheet used as a basis for the tapered necklace sections, the box catch and the oval clip back earrings.
Sheet was used in a lighter gauge for the double row of tubing soldered along the top undersides of the 22 panels. serving as a channel for chain which holds everything together. This same finer sheet was hand cut and carefully shaped into bezels neatly holding hand-made art glass and cabochons made to look like Persian (or #8 Mine) turquoise.
Manufactured clip findings were used for the earring backs.
Its weight is evenly distributed and reassuring. With the earrings, one can feel and appear nothing less than regal--a treat for the inner queen !!!
