Feng Shui Jewelry!

With the 5 Elements series, I wanted to blend 5 traditional elements into one design. Wood, Metal, Water (symbolized by the glass), Air (incorporated by the negative space in the design), and Fire (the flash generated by the combination of the woven metal embedded behind the glass) all come together to make a light weight and visually arresting look. Most ancient cultures had some philosophy of balance, for example Feng Shui, and I was inspired to create my own interpretation for modern wear.

This is the plain wood and metal chain base that the other necklaces are built around. The bamboo makes this necklace extraordinarily light weight! This necklace is versatile as well - it can easily be worn clasped traditionally in back, as well as clasped short in front to create the classic "Y" shape look.
