Hand Knotted Rhodonite Choker

THROUGH THE DESIGNER'S LENS- A thoughtfully curated jewelry collection grows one exceptional piece at a time.

 Every design begins long before I choose a single gemstone. It begins with years of noticing—the architecture I've admired, the places I've traveled, the rhademarkable people I've met, and the curiosity that has shaped the way I see the world. I'd love to share my perspective behind this design.

WHY YOU'LL REACH FOR IT

Lately I've been fascinated by Rosewood, the rich color story I keep seeing in the fashion world. These Rhodonite stones move beautifully from pale pink to deep rose, and I immediately pictured them alongside burgundy, mulberry, and deep plum. But Rosewood with chocolate brown may be my favorite combination of all—it reminds me of a chocolate sundae with a cherry on top.

• The shaded pink Rhodonite takes on a completely different personality with other colors. I love it with soft greens and deep purples, especially when those shades appear together in a beautiful dark floral.
• There's something about these opaque stones that looks especially beautiful against leather and suede. Add burgundy, rust, or chocolate brown and the whole combination becomes rich, tonal, and wonderfully current.
• It's the depth of color in these stones that really captivates me. Those variations from pale pink through deep rose create a beautiful counterpoint to the rich spice tones I've been noticing on the fall runways.
• At 17 inches, this necklace falls right into that sweet spot for layering. The 2-inch extender gives you plenty of room to adjust it among the necklaces you already love.
