This one takes a while to make — over two hours, actually, which is a lot for a single piece of jewelry, but the wire wrapped clasp kind of demands it. Everything is built by hand using 14K gold filled wire made in the USA, wrapped and secured with the kind of care that makes the finished piece feel exactly right when you hold it.
At the center, a gold vermeil (thick gold coated on sterling silver) cross set with zirconia — simple enough to wear every day, considered enough to mean something. A freshwater pearl sits beside it, soft and luminous, balancing out the geometry of the cross with something a little more organic.
The wire wrapped clasp that holds it all together is the quiet hero of the piece. Most people won't notice it. You will.
