Tangents Necklace - Kate Alterio

The Tangents Necklace features a random scattering of beautifully crafted sterling silver beads among a string of hematite. This necklace is part of Kate Alterio's 'Magic and the Mundane' Collection. This collection explores 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. 

This long style necklace measures 119cm and can be worn in a long loop or layered around the neck twice for a shorter alternative.
