the gloaming




I love the colors in this necklace. They remind me of the colors you find in the land and sky near water, just before night, when the sun has faded for the day yet the water seems to glow, like it has captured the last of the sun's light. I love this time of day when the water is the brightest thing in the land before the moon takes over to light the night. Seriously, I'm obsessed with this time of day as evidenced by a similar description for dusk before the storm. No one has truly captured the beauty of this time on film, at least not the way I see it - who knew the Allegheny River could be so mesmerizing. A faceted teardrop of grayish-purple agate hangs from a bit of oxidized sterling chain.  Semi precious beads of turquoise, garnet, tourmaline, freshwater pearls, and cut glass crystal beads with an unusual side clasp and sizable oval of moonstone to finish off the piece. Sterling silver findings and toggle clasp. 19-3/8" in length. $53
