Artisan Faceted Carnelian and Crystal 'Tin Cup' Necklace

Story

Red has been the color of vitality and protection across cultures for millennia, often represented by stones like carnelian which were favored by ancient Egyptian royalty for their solar energy.

Maker / Origin

While the specific artist is not signed, the hand-formed spiral on the clasp is a hallmark of studio jewelry, where the maker treats every component, including the hardware, as a design element.

Condition & Value

The cord appears strong and the knots are tight, suggesting it has been well-cared for. There is some light oxidation on the metal clasp, which is consistent with sterling silver or silver-plated artisan components and can be easily polished if desired. Condition is excellent and does not detract from the value.
