Urban Rock 3D pendant is rocking Jewellery with Attitude!

Urban Rock 3D pendant – Ocean Garden (CH0102)

Urban Jewelry is jewellery for the person who has Street Smarts, lots of Attitude, and often with a delectable Feminine Twist. Urban Jewellery is for the street-smart, edgy person who demands something Distinctively Different, that shouts out Individuality, that is Bold but can be Feminine – and offers more than what it originally appears. These pendants – which have different Fronts and Back – do not need a bail. They can be worn in all kinds of ways by stringing (here via a silver choker) through the open mesh holes – any angles, any way you can – and each having it’s own Look & Mood.

I have designed this range of jewelry for just such a person.

The “Urban Rocks” are jewellery that really rocks! It is a endlessly changing Rock for the Street-wise Urbanite who craves movement, change, structure, and funky distinction.

This “Ocean Garden” pendant is edgy with its 3D triangular cage shape, capturing moving treasures that add depth, movement, and intrigue. The dangles add even more Fun, Movement, and Sparkle – turning heads whereever you go with those perfect Swarovski Butterfly beads. It is the creative use of its open mesh structure that allows this pendant to be worn in an endless variety of ways – changing with your mood and attitude. Different looks is achieved by threading through any of the open square “holes”. And as the pendant is finished differently back and front, your options of wearing it in multiple intriguing ways is instantly doubled.

This is my favourite. The Sea Green bugles with its irisdescent finish (from Miyuki) is reminscent of the interplay of light on the ocean waves. The Swarovski flowers and butterflies recall to mind the joy of being in a Garden full of Life and Vitality. Chains and wires are from .925 Sterling Silver, adding light joyousness and value to this open hearted Ocean Garden pendant.

Below here is shown but a small sampling of this endless flexibility. Displayed here with a silver metal choker and can also be worn with chains, leather thongs, ribbons, cords, hemp, etc.
