Leaf Shadows. Have you ever been walking in a rain forest? If so, think back to the play of light between the brown of the forest floor and the various shades of green of the leaves of the plants and trees surrounding you. If not, pick up a copy of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are (children’s section) and check out the illustrations.

The contrast of the earth tones is subtle yet enchanting. That is why for this tribute to the rain forest I used a large faceted smoky quartz centerpiece which draws your attention and then reflects the light to its adjacent components, surrounded by a hollow decorative silver bead, followed by high quality peridot, faceted and then smooth.

This unique combination of semi-precious stones and silver resulted in the beautiful semi-precious stone necklace you see here.
