This year, I let my inner girly-girl go and designed pieces that brought out my inner princess. This new Elegance line takes the Woven Ice pendants from last year and combines them with pearls to make a very decadent combination. This series has a very 40's movie star vibe about it.Every time I wear something from this set I feel like I should be boarding my private jet for a weekend in Paris! 

How is it done?

I’m very intrigued by the optical effects of glass. It’s amazing to me that by simply changing the shape of the glass, it completely changes the way that you experience the underlying layer of woven metal behind the glass. To make that layer, I weave sheets of fabric from rose & yellow 14/20 gold fill wire or Argentium using an ancient medieval fingerweaving technique. Then I cut this fabric into smaller pieces to embed behind fused glass. The glass both magnifies the weave, giving it more definition, as well as collects the light, making the entire piece glisten. The result is simply stunning. 

The classic slide clasp allows you to securely put the necklace on and off quite easily.
