This necklace was made by Elizabeth Johnson and
features her handmade glass berries. It includes seven Blackberries in varying
degrees of ripeness, glass water drops and olivine-colored faceted Cubic Zirconia pears, briolettes and rounds. For
strength the necklace is constructed on 49-strand beading wire, double-crimped and
finished with sterling silver findings. The overall length is 17 inches.
This necklace is one of three in the limited edition. Each is slightly different from the other two. They are currently on display at Pismo Gallery in Aspen, Colorado, Pimso Gallery in Denver, Colorado and at the K Newby Gallery in Tubac, Arizona.
To clean this jewelry, wet your hands and lather them with a little liquid hand
soap. Use your fingers to distribute the suds over the beads, then rinse
very thoroughly to remove all soap traces from inside the beadholes. Pat dry on a clean terrycloth towel.
