Brooch

Ammolite and Peridot Enhancer, Necklace, and Brooch

This piece is ever changing! It started out as a cuff bangle bracelet. Unfortunately, I made the cuff too small and it didn’t fit anyone. So, I reworked it into a brooch because I’m such a big fan of brooches.I like to wear them on hats. Unfortunately, brooches are not being worn like they used to, so I have created a unique vertical converter that allows it to be worn as a necklace with the included double strand beads, an enhancer with anything you may already have, or a brooch. What wonderful versatility! The stones are lovely and huge. There is a fancy cut peridot and an equally intense teal with green boarder ammolite (fossilized opal). Ammolite is opalized ammonite fossil from Southern Alberta, Canada. It is millions of years old but was only discovered in the early 1980s. This ammolite has superior flash! The design is a one of a kind. It is hand formed and fabricated. It took days just to make the converter!

The beads are a single strand of large facetted peridot roundels at the bottom that unexpectedly splits into double strands of small neon blue apatite segments in between regular longer intervals of facetted peridot segments. The clasp is a unique partly handmade clasp with a commercial lobster claw on the end for safety. It is pretty enough to be worn alone.
