Calm and Courageous
Elva Fields
Aquamarine is said to bring calm and courage when worn, so three strands of the stunning stone in faceted coin-shaped beads surely brings both...and style, we hope. We were instantly smitten by these beads, their range of hue from the celebrated ocean-like aqua to the softer gray-greens and even the bits of burgundy and rust all indicate these aquamarines are of the more natural variety. This real, rustic elegance only adds to their casual glamour, and we knew a more subtly-sparkling accompaniment was just the thing. Enter, this bold beauty of a brooch. (Certainly contributing to the courageous aspect of the aquamarines!) Unlike any we've seen or found before, the brooch is part-shield, part-anemone, entirely amazing. Shape, depth, dynamism, subtle sparkle, scale - it's a statement at front center without taking anything away from the beads, and a vintage rhinestone clasp at back is the ideal finishing touch. Necklace measures adjustable lengths from 17.5 to 19" overall, brooch measuring 3.5" length.
