This necklace was created for a challenge on the theme of "Heal The World". The inspiration of this piece is Native American for their spiritual belief about living in harmony and helping conserve mother nature.
I used cool, peaceful, turquoise coloured seed beads that contrast beautifully with the focal agate stone in beautiful earthy red/brown colours: I love the way the colour patterns on the stone seem to represent the Grand Canyon. Galvanized turquoise beads have been used to add shine. I finished the piece with a couple of shell beads and antique bronze daggers to represented perhaps, natives' crafted knives.
For the necklace, I used lightweight, tarnish resistant Medium Antique Gold Plated chain as the necklace. The backing of the necklace is a dark blue ultrasuede piece and the closing is a beadwoven toggle.
Approximate length of the necklace: 48 cm/ 18.9inches Approximate width –at widest point around the neck-: 13 cm/ 5.1 inches Approximate height of the necklace: 16 cm/ 6.3 inches
When all the trees have been cut down,
Wwhen all the animals have been hunted,
When all the waters are polluted,
When all the air is unsafe to breathe,
Only then will you discover you cannot eat money.
