and the colors of the sea bind your eyes with trembling mermaids
and you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses
how his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing
for the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips
and you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise
and her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea
and when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body
carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind
tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
~Tales of Brave Ulysses, Cream

The necklace begins with the heART, a perfectly psychedelic specimen of Ocean Jasper, replete with visions of coral, anemone, rippling waves and a mysterious druzy window.
A succession of bead-woven chevrons launch forward as from an archer’s bow*, to secure the heart 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 mint & jadeite greens, anemone pink, lilac, oxblood red, & cream ;)

All this wonder fastens at your nape courtesy of a vintage mother of pearl button and beaded loop closure which is flanked by two seaweed green garnet beads.

rope necklace: 17 1/2 inches
heart & arrow assemblage: 3.75 inches

druzy agate heart pendant: 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches

The Heart 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 deer ;)
