This statement necklaces features nine geometric enamel shapes hand-cut and pieced together to form the necklace. Alternating royal blue enamel color pools and hand-drawn crisscross patterns adorn the surface. This necklace is part of my Piecing Together the Mysteries earrings and necklace set. While making this set I was thinking about how we attempt to solve life's mysteries by piecing together experiences to form meaning.

The design for this necklace was sketched out and then the shapes were hand-cut out of copper. Then the first layer of dark gray enamel is applied and kiln fired. Next a layer of liquid white enamel and teal powdered enamel is applied to the surface, then the lined pattern was scratched out exposing the gray enamel beneath. Then they were kiln-fired another time at a toasty 1500°. The backs are enameled in dark gray. Connected with oxidized sterling silver jump rings and completed with oxidized sterling silver chain and clasp.
