Fruit flavor turning into jewelry

I made this necklace using kiwi quartz and chrisophrase. I love the asymmetrical form of it and talking about a design trade show in Italy brought this piece back. I am always reaching for the modern aesthetic although I enjoy having old pieces around me.   

"That Night in Rio"

"That Night in Rio" necklace - inspired by the movie "That night in Rio" starring the Brazilian bombshell Carmen Miranda.  My necklace features a  melange of Crystallized ™ elements with Swarovski to express the drama and colors of Brazil and Carmen Miranda. Think tropical butterflies swinging to the rhythm of samba drums, steamy nights enchanted by the moonlight and ocean waves calling your name.

" Viva a banda da da, Carmen Miranda, da da da da..."
