The key piece of inspiration for this necklace sits deliberately off-center—a fragment of discarded ceramic architecture, rescued from its former life and given a new one. I created the polymer clay beads as a counterpoint to the rugged ceramic focal, balancing its weight with color, texture, and a touch of playful irregularity. Together, the pieces create a necklace that feels part artifact, part sculpture, and completely unexpected. This is a one-of-a-kind piece!
