18k yellow gold Crownwork® clover leaf and amazonite triple wrap necklace with small lilypad clasp. These necklaces are an exercise in symmetry, double wrapped or triple wrapped the gold and stone sections line up exactly. The Crownwork® clovers takes the weight out but gives them a visual heft so they are lightweight and fabulous to the eye. I love to work with symmetry and the flat design allows for comfortability whilst looking delicate and sophisticated. The clover is often associated with good luck and positive reinforcement. The lilypad clasp is a way for me to finish a piece of jewelry with a personal design touch. The clasp is very safe and easy to open and close. It’s something that shows the true nature of the piece being made by hand rather than a manufactured clasp.
Amazonite is a green tectosilicate mineral. As the name suggests the stone is named after the green stones historically found in the Amazon river. The stone is known to come from Brazil however can be found in other countries such as Australia, China and the United States. There is evidence of Amazonite being used in jewelry for over three thousand years. Amazonite is said to have a calming effect on the nervous system and is associated with love and soothing aggravation.
