Red Jasper and Hemp Necklace





Red Jasper and Hemp Necklace
Absolutely in love with Red Jasper, a naturally occurring British gemstone found on a Suffolk beach. It features some beautiful veining and hangs from a soft organic hemp cord.
Pebble has been smoothed by the sea against the sand so has a nice smooth surface.
Collected from Suffolk.
Jasper is an aggregate of quartz (and / or chalcedony) and other minerals, like the iron which has made this jasper a stunning dark crimson shade. I love the fact you can find beautiful gemstones on our beaches and mother nature has even tumbled it for me to give a duller polish than the highly varnished-looking varieties from a home tumbler.
Made using a wire bezel technique I created, which is kind of a cross between basketry and weaving. It is a time consuming technique but a labour of love. Each piece of sea glass is securely and artistically encased in a delicate wire frame.
Surgical stainless steel findings. Highest quality stainless steel does not rust or tarnish, a hard wearing metal with a finish like antique sterling. Also suitable for people with metal allergies, stainless steel is used predominantly in the medical profession as people are less likely to react to it.
Necklace is 16 inches long with magnetic clasp.
See photo of me wearing for idea of length / scale. Other variations available.
