Inspire: A Carnelian, Sunstone, Pearl, and Silver Necklace

Inspire is a three-strand necklace of carnelian, sunstone, pearl, and silver.  It reminds me of a question raised by a long-time customer.  "When is jewelry art and when is art jewelry?"  I try to create both, and I hope Inspire follows that path.    

Any accessory enhances or undermines statements you hope to make with an outfit. Inspire offers a joyful finishing touch.  It enhances neutral colors like cream, gray or gray stripe, or natural linen outfits.  Make a bold statement by pairing with plaids, stripes or florals of similar shades of red.

WHY VANILLA?

Most precious metal pieces you see on White Orchid Studio pieces are hand carved to mimic parts of a vanilla plant.  Why?  Because vanilla is considered a white orchid. It is also the essential flavoring when baking custard, cookies, cakes, etc.  If the aroma and taste of vanilla invoke great memories, I hope those memories transfer to my White Orchid Studio pieces.
