these bold, unisex beads are from the designer's "ocean" collection [2007], which is based on the spirit of the five elements - air, earth, fire, water and wood. "perhaps a shell, found on the shore after a storm, whispers the secrets of the origin of life... or the future of a universal inundation?..." five pieces of natural amber - which represent the five elements - are anchored with silver links to hand-carved oak beads, interspersed with two pearls and a sphere of mountain crystal. beads can be detached from the amber and worn as a choker, while the amber can be worn as a bracelet or anklet. edition: 10. may differ slightly from the image shown. total length: 72 cm [28.3"]; amber chain: 29 cm [11.4"]; beads: 43 cm [16.9"].
