Migration – Snow Goose Necklace

It’s the time of year when the birds are on the move. This necklace was created to honor their journeys across the planet.

A handmade lead free pewter Snow Goose pendant from Mamacita Beadworks is adorned with decorative motifs, swirls, lines, dots, giving this piece an almost primitive feel. Keeping with that theme, I hand knotted milky White Dendritic Opal ovals and glowing Rainbow Moonstone chips on manmade sinew, along with some smoky blue seed beads. Giving this piece a serene, icy feel.

The rest of the necklace is made up of silver plated steel rings and closes with a handmade, hammered sterling silver s hook clasp that can be hooked in to any of the links on the chain, making this necklace adjustable. Dangling from the back of the chain is a drilled pebble from Lake Michigan, one of the main stops of the migration path of the Snow Goose.
