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. Also, 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 worn alone as 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.
