Western Sunset Garnet, Sapphire & Diamond Necklace

Western Sunset Orange Garnet,
Blue Sapphire & Diamond Necklace

Tucson: As we headed up the west side of the valley, I said, “Is this a new road home?” He said, “We’re going to a lookout.” We turned left and headed into a yellow sky, a million Saguaro cacti on the sides of the mountains. As we climbed higher, this was the wild west of my childhood dreams. The road narrowed, sides became steeper on both left and right. There was no place to stop. We crossed the pass. The sky was orange; the cliff walls had an impossible ascent of Saguaro cactus. I saw orange sky to the west, black mountains 30 miles away, and in a column of sky above, twilight blue stars twinkling. In all my life in the east, I’ve never seen anything like this.

Our Star Pass Western Sunset Necklace is set with a rare pear shape orange Spessartite garnet surrounded with diamonds, a twilight blue oval sapphire surrounded by diamonds, and additional clusters of little diamonds sprinkled in on the chain. The 18” 14K white gold chain has 3 closure points at 16”, 17”, and 18” to allow for an adjustable length. This piece with its asymmetrical balance is totally unexpected and really, really beautiful.

Everyone Should Have
A Piece of Asymmetrical Jewelry

The colors orange and blue are opposites on the color wheel and create a special dynamic tension. The pear shape Spessartite garnet is orange. The oval sapphire is blue. Both are surrounded with diamonds, unifying the two gems. On your right as you look at the piece, we have an additional large oval and round cluster of small diamonds, adding to the drama of the piece’s asymmetry.

As you wear this Western Sunset necklace, you will feel the power of its presence and the magic of its asymmetry.

She Loves Color and Her Signature Touch
Is Asymmetry

She says, “Asymmetry insists on attention. Whoever the wearer speaks to will look once, will look twice, and check back a dozen times just to be sure.”

“I love color,” she says, “I love the big splash of pear shape orange in the middle shining beside its complimentary blue.”
