Kerala 9ct yellow gold necklace with 10mm aquamarine beads and 17 waves. The waves of the sea at Kerala, southern India, inspired the curved shape of this necklace. From the Journey to India.
This necklace measures approximately 18 inches in length.
Kerala
The waves of the sea coming into the shore in Kerala are echoed by the curved sections of my necklace. I wanted to create the feeling of endless waves coming in... and then going out... and so the gold is curved and linked by small beads of blue aquamarine and other stones.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine with its hues of blue and green is known as the sailor's gem ensuring safe travels across the seas. It is the birthstone for March. The colour in aquamarine is due to the presence of iron in the beryl crystal lattice with the most important deposits being found throughout Brazil as well as in Africa where the colours of blue can almost be a pungent blue.
