A very unique necklace which has different shapes of Spaulted white ash wooden beads. I found this rare wood when I was firing ceramics with a wood fired kiln.I was taking my turn adding wood to the kiln when I came across the piece of wood. Of course it didn't go into the fire and I went right home and decided to make beads out of it. I cut the beads drilled them sanded and stained them. I rubbed a light poly coating on them. I added sterling silver tubing to finish them off nicely. I added metal beads which have a very cool green finish. These beads hang on an Argentium silver woven chain which does not tarnish. The chain ends with Tibetan silver end caps and a handmade sterling silver clasp. The chain is adjustable in sizes. This necklace is set off with a handmade turquoise fiber as a well as a handmade crystal. This minor detail gives the necklace tremendous style.
