Sneak Preview: The *Gateway to Marrakech* Necklace

Do you remember this sketch?


It has come to life!

A stunning Sonora Sunrise Chrysocolla from my little stash of stones has come together with a show of sumptuous silver in the latest necklace from my *Moroccan Odyssey* Collection.
The *Gateway to Marrakech* Necklace

Inspired by the nineteen gates surrounding the city of Marrakech...


magnificently ornate salmon-hued arches built in the 12th century...



A Moroccan motif hand-sawn from the backplate...


...a little secret known only to the wearer...
The necklace seals with both a lobster clasp and hand-wrought and textured ring...


...and a striking Mystic Orange Carnelian briolette sways from the extender chain...
This necklace has the most wonderful weight to it,


a symbol of strength and assurance...



Making an appearance in my Etsy store soon!
