Breakthrough / Front-Clasping Labradorite, Chalcedony, & Silver Necklace

This front-clasping work of wearable art took two weeks (+ a lot of silver, stones, & hard work) to finish & I'm exhausted! This necklace features a row of alternating teardrop aqua chalcedony and labradorite, radiating out from a border of curved square wire. Textured and darkened silver that borders the stones in tatters is centered by a completely new style of front clasp; two interlocking pieces slide together into a double bar, and a safety catch secures the pieces together from the back. A strip of square wire ties everything together and connects the necklace to the handmade square wire chain with beaded wire joints. This front-clasper is one for the books!
