The end result

The large custom Sediment necklace is finished and on its way across the country!


Stainless steel strung through a short length of hollow rubber cord creates the loop for a toggle clasp. (my left thumbnail almost permanently has black paint under it - sorry to everyone except Claire :-)



The beads graduate as they get close to necklace for comfort and to cut some of the weight. (it has about 275 beads!) I was a little sad to say good bye to this piece. I truly labored over it.

    So glad you posted the finished piece - it was worth waiting for. The clasp really works as it ends in a right angle that just echoes the tablets in the whole necklace. Perfect.
    Wonderful working hands - I too have my little fingernail crescents o'black....

    Wow! Fabulous piece... quite a statement, love the scale. I was imagining it as a smaller piece.

    Superb work Gen!

    Quite a clever and strong method for the closure.

    you do know that this must be museum exhibit level work, right? i am hoping that you make another to have for such an opportunity... while stating that there are 275 beads is impressive, just imagining the hours invested is staggering... beautiful work genevieve...

    I found you on Etsy a year - maybe two ago - and I just love your work! Your pieces are so elegant, graphic and organic all at the same time. Truly contemporary and modern with vague hints of deconstructive. So happy I finally found your blog! <3
