Luminescence Necklace

This piece challenges you to find life and light in unusual places. The three starfish remind us of the amazing plants and animals that thrive deep beneath the surface of the sea, many without benefit of light and photosynthesis. The other components evoke unusual sources of light such as bioluminescence which is luminescence caused by chemical reactions in living things. It is a cold light produced by living organisms. On land, only a few nocturnal animals, such as fireflies, produce light, but in the ocean, thousands of species do so. Deep-water fish and squid use bioluminescence extensively, but there are many other oceanic light producers.

Thai silver starfish, lemon chrysoprase, apatite, chalcedony, serpentine, kyanite, crystal quartz, blue Peruvian opal, rainbow moonstone, Czech aqua glass leaves with aurora borealis finish. Sterling silver clasp. Adjustable length 19-23”. $160.
