Mixed Metal Chrysoprase Statement Necklace by Amber Carlin

Make a bold statement with this one-of-a-kind, handcrafted necklace, blending rustic charm with modern bohemian elegance. The triangular pendant showcases artful layering of reticulated silver and etched brass, creating a dynamic, dimensional surface rich with texture and character.

The bezel set stone is a teardrop-shaped chrysoprase stone, with a soothing green hue that contrasts beautifully with the mixed metals

This wearable work of art is designed for those who appreciate bold, handcrafted jewelry with a soul. Whether paired with casual or elevated looks, this rustic-meets-modern piece is the perfect way to express your free-spirited, artistic style.

The pendant is approximately 1 5/8" long x 2" wide and hangs from a 16.5" silver chain with a handmade silver clasp.

Handmade by Amber Carlin of Dubuque, Iowa.

I am an artist and art teacher living in Dubuque, Iowa.  I grew up in Dubuque and I was introduced to metalsmithing during a high school art class.  I was so enamored with the medium that I went on to receive my B.F.A in jewelry/metal arts. I also recently completed an MA in Art Education from the University of Iowa. 

As an artist I am constantly finding inspiration through my environment and through my travels.  My work serves as a visual record of the places I visit and the things I see while exploring different geological and topographical locations. In my work I am always experimenting with different ways that I can fabricate metal, and by melting and striking the silver I am able to achieve organic, stone-like shapes.  I also use casting, etching, patination, and enameling to bring out the colors and textures of the materials.  My natural and organic aesthetic is often contrasted with geometric shapes or brighter colors to create a dichotomy between nature and humans imprint on nature.
