Snows of Kilimanjaro

Description

I was watching “Downton Abbey” a couple of weeks ago and I saw some beautiful jewelry that the Ladies of Downton were wearing. They were very ornate pieces, typical of late 1800 and early 1900. I thought of the English and their expansion of the empire and their explorers seeking out treasures and wonders of Africa. I envisioned them coming upon the snow topped Mt. Kilimanjaro in all its glory. This necklace is based on that vision, an elegant necklace for that period of time. The snowflake obsidian cabochons (volcanic stone) represent the volcano and the copper wire frame that holds each cab represents the red magma beneath the mountain. The necklace is 24” in length, the entire necklace is handmade. The rings are made from wire and sawn by hand and the fittings are wire that has been forged by hammer.
