"How fresh, how calm, stiller than this of course, the air was in the early morning; like the flap of a wave; the kiss of a wave; chill and sharp and yet solemn..." So it goes from the opening lines of Mrs. Dalloway, in which Clarissa steps out of her house in Westminster for shopping in London in preparation for a party in the evening. This 22" slim gemstone necklace is made of iolite rondelles and Czech fire polished glass, fastening with a small sterling silver toggle. Iolite is also called "water sapphire" for its color. Like Clarissa Dalloway, its appearance can change depending on the viewing angle, thanks to its prismatic nature.

Cost: $95.00 USD
