blue recycled glass

Sodalite's rich shades of blue find a complement in handcrafted beads. Francis Oliveira recycles magazines to adorn a delightful necklace. Linked with brass rings, the varnished paper cylinders combine with gemstones and culminate in an ornate pendant. The necklace loops around the neck as desired.

This long necklace by Francis Oliveira is destined to accessorize with cheerful wonderment. She starts by recycling magazine paper into rolled-up pipettes, their many colors finding elegant harmony with such Brazilian gems as sodalite, white, rose, and green quartz, amethyst, hematite, zoisite and goldstone, as well as bright glass beads. Brass links hold this attractive necklace together.
