January I Necklace

Cylindrical glass beads with line of cabochon garnet briolettes, 18K yellow gold teardrop charms with diamond

Deep arrangements of metallic blue, red, bronze, olive green and gold culminate into Claire Kahn's beautiful celebration of January in both color and progression. Enamored by the profound allure of the garnet stone, Kahn elevates its essence with with a compelling palette to nourish the soul. In fond remembrance of the holiday season, she skillfully crochets a breathtaking score of garnet briolettes to sweetly float upon the perimeter of her composition. Their sodden bodies ever succulent as if berries picked ripe from the vine. With a careful brush of one's finger, discover the joy of their silky smooth surfaces. The lavish ensemble is gracefully echoed by the soft notes of lustrous gold, their textured, teardrop leaves cradle bright, twinkling diamonds within. Below this dynamic framework, metallic blue gracefully coalesces with softened red and brown to then be elated by the brief breaths of bronze and gold. Quite a stunning, full-bodied work to handsomely take us into the wintry month of the new year. A piece for those who admire their own birthright as well as those who remain spellbound by January's unyielding charm.
