Ancient Coins, Jade, Designer Red Glass And Picasso Marble Necklace And Earrings Set

One Of A Kind Original Adolphina Design

Sterling Silver Wirework

Elegant jade discs interspersed with tiny jade discs hang delicately on hand-shaped silver wirework. Solid Sterling silver beads then set off a parade of Picasso marble beads as they lead the way to deep red glass beads.

Earrings are the mystery. Two ancient Asian coins, origins unknown, dangle from wirework and glass beads. In its entirety, it is a combination of natural stones, glass, and manmade coins.

The toughness or strength of jade made it a favorite tool for people long ago. In China, it is the favorite stone for carvers. It is believed to strengthen the body during life and protect one after death. Ancient Mexico believed the same, as did people from Central America. The Maoris of New Zealand cherished Jade as a powerful talismanic stone. Healing and protective properties as well as dealing with the practicalities of everyday reality are embedded in this creation.
