Aurelie necklace in 9ct yellow gold with 10mm chrysoprase beads. From the Journey to Italy.
Aurelie
The great Via Aurelia, built in 241 BC, which runs from Pisa to Rome inspired the long line of stones and gold that are the 'Aurelie' collection. I love cutting unusual beads of emerald, tourmaline, quartz and baroque aquamarines, then slipping them into the straight chain of gold adding colour and character to the chain.
Chrysoprase
The Greek for golden apple, Chrysoprase is found in Australia. With its bright green body colour, caused by Nickel, Chrysoprase is a highly sought after Chalcedony for its unique colouration and its rarity to obtain large crystals.
This colourful gemstone can be cut in cabochon or as beads, where the vivid apple green hue is very striking.
