The Cluster **** in Clarity + Brass

When I first began making jewelry, my ideas were far bigger than my ability to execute them properly on a given jewelry piece. I always loved the way cluster necklaces enchanted the eye with a flood of beads and reflection, each bead independently beautiful but altogether stellar amidst the others. I practiced making them for hours at a time, frustrated that I couldn’t get them to look like the image I had in my head. One day, I realized the problem. I was trying to add too many beads on each branch of the cluster. Less is more. That was the lesson I took away from the nearly two-year block of time I took me gain some measure of comfort in making this kind of necklace. I still think of them as a cluster **** and chuckle to myself remembering how far I’ve come. These necklaces could never be made the same way twice. To try would be a lesson in futility and frustration. They are made to be kept simple.  It’s in their simplicity that their true beauty and uniqueness shines. This one-of-a-kind stunner in clarity and brass marries old and new, as this rare vintage crystal center comes out to play with a mix of teardrop and round glass beads and edgy triangular elements.  This is a classic that is sure to stand the test of time. The chain is approximately 27” in length and the pendant extends approximately 5.5”. Made of lead and nickel compliant materials. This piece is ready to ship in 1 to 3 business days.
