From the Ashes Necklace

Charcoal, larch wood, 18K yellow gold

From out of self-made charcoal pieces, artist, Susanne Elstner seeks to create artistic visions that connect to the earthen vivacity of nature. Born of a distinct, ashen landscape, she sculpts an exquisite work of adornment. Exquisite portions of charcoal collect as an striking assemblage upon the body. The unique intrigue of each piece locks the eye as one follows the monochromatic impressions that nearly glisten at the touch of light. The masterful construction of the maker reveals strategically positioned links of oxidized sterling silver on the underside of each charred piece of the necklace. Fabulously, once placed around the neck, the subjects organically fit with uncomplicated tact. To complete the work, a silver hook and eye clasp are seamlessly tailored into the composition. Almost weightless when worn, and ever so captivating to behold. Elstner composes a soul-stirring gift for your everyday enjoyment.
