Moments of Light and Dark Necklace - Kate Alterio

The Moments of Light and Dark Necklace features beautifully crafted sterling silver and 9ct yellow gold beads punctuating a beautifully long strand of hematite beads. This necklace is part of a collection by Kate Alterio called 'Magic and the Mundane'. This collection considers the human experience, which at times may be full of repetitive moments. Kate's work is a very meditative practice and this collection focuses on finding the sacred in the everyday moments. 

The necklace can be worn long at full length of 120cm or wound around the neck to be worn at layered at a shorter length.
