Liquid Silver and Briolette Necklace and Earrings Set

I designed this necklace and earrings  for a customer to give to his wife as a gift for their first anniversary.  It was very challenging to get strands of liquid silver to stay in a neat knot at the neck, so I created a "faux" knot by crimping the strands into a fixed circle and then wrapping the long end of the strands around that circle. Peridot is the stone associated with first anniversaries, so I designed the set around the need to incorporate peridot as part of it. I also used amethyst and simulated aqua chalcedony briolettes to keep the entire palette cool.

Commissioned as a first anniversary gift from a husband to his wife.
