Raw? Not Overtly So

This raw necklace is made up of more than thirty rugged pearls, set in sterling silver, and held in place by grips emerging from the mounts placed below each of the pearls. Since each pearl is of a random shape, it has taken all of the jeweller's skill to secure it within the composition, even while maintaining the basic aesthetic structure defining the ornament.

What the artist has created is a sheer masterpiece, and each and every part of this necklace speaks volumes about the care and dexterity that he has taken to make the varied pieces forming this composition sing in symphony. The defining aspect of this jewelry is its raw look, making it tempting because of the lack of any machine-made artificiality. Nonetheless, the magnificently cut Blue Topaz stones dispersed around the central overhang of the necklace tempers the necklace, preventing it from falling into overt rawness.
