🌊 Seven Stones. One Story. Endless Ways to Wear It.
Some necklaces coordinate. This one celebrates. Every inch of this handcrafted opera-length strand tells a story in color — the cool luminous flash of Swiss blue topaz, the dreamy glow of moonstone, the electric pop of watermelon tourmaline, the deep warmth of garnet, the earthy mystery of labradorite, and the honey warmth of citrine — all united by hand with 18K gold filled wire into a single, fluid, 36-inch work of wearable art.
This necklace was made entirely by hand by Catherina Bishopp in the USA using the rosary-style wire-wrapping technique — there is no separate chain. Each of the 200+ individual stones is individually wire-wrapped and linked loop-to-loop in 18K gold filled wire, creating a strand that is as flexible and fluid as it is dazzling.
