Zuri
Lampwork
and Sterling Silver Neckace & Earrings
In the Swahili
language, Zuri means '"beautiful." Which is just how you'll feel when
wearing this stunning artisan necklace and matching earrings! The large
discs and bold colors are reminiscent of the jewelry common in the East
African region.
The vibrant
lampwork beads were created by the talented glass artisans, Moon and
Bob Stumpp of Mixed Media Jewelry. The large focal
bead is an incredible 40 mm in diameter! Loaded with fine
silver, the bold bright beads have a delightful earthy appeal that I
couldn't resist! This unique and funky lampwork is a perfect match for
my unique and funky wire work!
Tons of wonderful
coils make up the chain. Coil-wrapped love knots and crazy coils are
enhanced with more lovely lampwork and Hill Tribe silver. For a
finishing touch, the entire piece has been given a gentle rich patina.
The necklace is a
comfortable and adjustable 22-24 inches in length. I've made matching
earrings measuring a dramatic 3 inches overall length. My handmade
Sterling silver ear wires are 18 gauge.
Available for purchase at Syd Entel
Galleries in Safety Harbor, Florida.
