GRIETA Necklace

GRIETA is what forms when pressure finds a way through. Fluorite splits the strand with sharp, glassy color, uneven where it broke. Ancient Mali granite carries a texture no cutter could replicate. Vintage glass and jasper move between them in worn, familiar tones. Smoky quartz and ancient carnelian sit close together, one dark, one warm. Green jade and fossil stegodon mark two separate ages, millions of years apart, strung inches from each other. Angelite and magnesite close the sequence, pale and chalky against everything dense around them.

Nothing here was cut to match. It was found, and it fit anyway. 

One of one. Hand-strung in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
