Photo credits can be misleading! You probably made the right choice.

Nice! Gonna go look them up like right now :)

The necklace was commissioned but the guy who owns the Sweet Home mine in Colorado so you’re definitely on the right track to find the jeweler! :)

I’m poking around and can’t find the jeweler, if you figure out who it was let me know, I’m curious now too :)

I don’t, but it’s named the “Katheryn Necklace” and is displayed at the Colorado School of Mines museum, the jeweler can probably be found easily :)

Absolutely, the jeweler who designed it was a genius. The metalwork is incredibly fine and evokes a super art deco aesthetic and also focuses the eye on the stones, which are absolutely the primary part of the piece;the custom cut teardrop stones don’t hurt either. It’s a phenomenal necklace.

Mostly Colorado is beefy, not hammy, but Greeley is iirc home to the largest slaughterhouse complex in the US so it felt appropriate

*chants in Greeley-an* ham ham ham HAM HAM HAM

Rhodochrosite is a *stunning* mineral in all its forms :)

Oh it glitters, look at this necklace that’s so fragile it was only worn once in public
