This is the 18k yellow gold Crownwork® clover leaf and Chrysophrase 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 clasps. Chrysoprase is an apple-green variety of Chalcedony that contains small quantities of nickel, which gives the mineral it’s color. The stone is often associated with abundance, prosperity and joy and is the birthstone for May.
All of the gold we use is certified eco-responsible, recycled metal. Unlike mining, where approximately 20 tons of waste is generated to produce just one ounce of gold, refining precious metals has virtually no waste and is much better for the earth.
