two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by
and that has made all the difference. ~robert frost

The necklace begins with a walk in the woods at dusk, courtesy of a perfectly robust specimen of Owyhee Jasper, resplendent in its gray mist settling over the last rays of golden sunshine caressing the dark trunks and limbs and roots and vines.
A succession of bead-woven chevrons launch forward as from an archer’s bow*, to secure the pendant below and betwixt your collarbones, suspended playfully from the bead-woven rope of a zillion (give or take) itty bitty seed beads in tones of charcoal night sky, silvery mist, sunshine yellow…
All this wonder twirls and whirls to your nape, where we spy two more rays of sun captured within Baltic Butterscotch Amber nuggets. The necklace fastens with an early 1900’s brass button with flora motif.
rope necklace: 17 1/2 inches
woods & arrow assemblage: 4 1/4 inches
owyhee jasper pendant: 2 x 1 1/2 inches
The Woods and Arrow assemblage is removable so that you may consider wearing it on another necklace, neck-ring or thin silk scarf. Or perhaps wear the beaded rope sans pendant as the whim may strike every now and then. Choices, versatility. romance and strength of spirit are yours my dear ;)
