Evening dog walks around the Island in St Ives were always the perfect way to end the day. As you turn back towards Porthmeor beach in the dusk, there’s that wonderful view of the lights twinkling around Tate St Ives. I loved how the grass and rocks on the headland had deepened to dark greens and browns, while the sea still shone a soft aqua blue.
This round Australian Dragon Blood Jasper bead brought those colours straight back to me. Dark green like the grass on the Island, with tiny flecks of brown like the rocks. I’ve paired it with an oval of my handprinted aluminium, plain turquoise on one side and soft aqua blue on the other, printed with small irregular lines that reminded me of waves breaking on the beach. A hammered silver circle completes the cluster.
The jasper bead turns freely, revealing different colours and markings, while the aluminium gives you two shades of blue to enjoy. All three elements move and jangle together as you wear it.
If you’re drawn to blues and greens, this handmade pendant necklace is an easy way to enjoy them every day. Perhaps it will remind you of your own walks in St Ives, or you simply love jewellery inspired by the sea. A treat for yourself, or a one-of-a-kind gift for someone who has a soft spot for Cornwall.
All my jewellery is designed and handmade in my garden studio in Dorset, UK.
Your necklace will arrive beautifully packaged in a gift box made from recycled paper, all ready to treat yourself or give to a loved one.
The Australian dragon blood jasper round bead is approx 15mm in diameter, the aluminium oval is approx 12x10x1mm and the silver circle is approx. 9 mm in diameter. The necklace comes with an 18” sterling silver ball chain.
