Like cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir has an earthy flavor though more subdued so that other flavors are
noticeable, like fruit flavors of cherry and strawberry or vanilla. Pinot noir is the palest red wine and
light and easy on the tongue. It pairs well with a variety of foods, from salmon to creamy cheese dishes
to chicken and pork. It is the grape of the Burgundy region and good pinot noir is among the most prized
wines.
The necklace pairs featured here contain at least one piece that is pinot noir-like: lovely in color and
feel with subtle style and fun.

This pairing shows carbon in two forms: the jet beads in
Family Araucariaceae
are a "soft" form (coal) and the diamond chips in
Precious are
a "hard" form. Handcrafted lampwork glass beads make a fine complement to the lustrous jet beads, and
the contrast between smooth and rough of the two necklaces adds nice interest.
Family Araucariaceae: $124.00 USD
Precious (silver): $120.00 USD
Precious (gold-fill): $122.00 USD
