Take My Breath Away


While browsing the fabulous store Terrain, I found this marvelous, awe-inspiring necklace. At first glance, it looked like a tiny stack of glistening raw metals and slate, freshly cut out of a mountain-side in northern most New York or southern Vermont. What caught my attention were the raw cut, tiny slabs. Made of pyrite, gold, zircon, sterling silver and brass, it's no wonder that I'm taken to another place. The supple deerskin tie at the end adds the perfect juxposition of high/low. It's casual with the raw hide leather look, reminiscient of my High School days, when we wore a piece, knotted around our necks, to profess how cool and preppy we were. Anyway, back to the necklace. It glistens in the light. It's upscale without being uptight, due to it's style of raw, jagged cut stones and stacked in a very casual, "devil may care" attitude. I'm simply in love and must have this item. STAT.
