Long Viking Necklace

Variable lengths and gauges of recycled guitar strings mixed to achieve balance and strong shape. Black tourmaline focal stone, Thai silver and metal bead accents. Oxidized sterling silver curb chain. Adjustable from 24" to 30"
 
For me, inspiration can come from buildings, dancers, household objects... but in this case it came directly from another piece of jewelry: a pair of earrings worn by one of the main characters in the show, Vikings. The angular shape and long dangling bars are a nod to the pointed and gem filled earrings she wore as a Queen.
