Know what a sylph is? Basically, it's a faerie or elemental of air. With references in fantasy and alchemy, sylphs are imagined to be light, faerie-like and ethereal.
And so I present the Sylph necklace, a confection of the softest transparent pink rose quartz, stunning indigo-blue iolite, microfaceted prehnite and lilac amethysts, topped with a lustrous freshwater pearl. I'd been hoarding those tiny little briolettes for a long time now, and had actually forgotten how clear and beautiful good quality iolite can be. They're not called "water sapphires" for nothing.
Truly a romantic, fairytale piece...
