Turbulent Waters Necklace

Turbulent Waters is hand forged and fused entirely of Argentium Silver, and is inspired by the fluid nature of strength.

Strength is not a constant. In the hectic days that threaten to overwhelm, strength ebbs and flows, surging forth when needed, and receding like the tides back into the depths of soul. The fluidity of strength is inherently fascinating- breaking forth when most needed, just when we think it’s not possible to hold on… the storm breaks, and there we stand strong and resilient unbowed by the storms of life.

I forged each separate wave piece, and created the Argentium granules. I continued by fusing the entire piece link by link, to reference the resilience of the material’s inherent strengths. I tension set a Labradorite cabochon to reference the open seas, and included an integrated front clasp. Finally, I  finished the piece with polishing before using a kiln to bring the Germanium to the surface to increase tarnish resistance through surface passivation.

This piece is a one of a kind celebration of strength, art, and the mystery of the ocean.
