Tidal Necklace No. 7

This one-of-a-kind, reversible statement necklace created by Kate Mess is as stunning with jeans and a t-shirt or sweater as it is with more formal dress. Capturing the subtleties of ocean hues, this bold necklace flatters color palettes of both blue and green. The pendant calls to mind a pair of shimmering oysters nestled together amidst swirling seaweed and the ever-changing tides. The process of making this piece involves fusing colored glass to copper in a hot kiln or with a torch. The result is a vitreous enamel, a material of near-permanence and durability. The handmade chain of bent and hammered silver is just as important as the beautiful pendant itself. - Measures- Reversible- Vitreous enamel, copper, oxidized Argentium silver Kate Mess is an award-winning contemporary jeweler, artist, and designer.
