 From River to Sea Necklace - Joan Tenenbaum
"From River to Sea"
Necklace

This fabricated piece represents a river flowing through the chain, through the bail, through the aquamarine, through the tundra, log jams, spawning salmon, and out to the sea.  It also is an example of my personal use of the granulation technique, using gold dust and tiny pieces of wire on a pierced and textured surface to look like a tundra landscape as seen from an airplane.  Hand knitted chain by Julia Lowther.  Made as set with Tidepool Earrings.  Featured in the book: The Art and Craft of Making Jewelry: A Complete Guide to Essential Techniques, by Joanna Gollberg.
