LURE- Gallo-Roman Artifact & Turquoise Necklace








I found this late Gallo-Roman, early Medieval period artifact in Provence this summer.
It is made of bronze and still keeps some of the earth it was buried in for centuries on its surface.
I used it as a pendant with big chunks of turquoise, that have a mix of green and turquoise color, and ornate vermeil beads. It is finished with smaller Chinese turquoise rondelles and a beautiful vermeil square toggle clasp. Truly a one of a kind necklace!

I just finished it and I will have it with me at my next show on September 7th: "3 French Artists @ Gitane"
344 State Street Los Altos, Ca   4 to 9 pm
