Ireland

I generally don't consider cool decorative art things to come out of Ireland (and no I don't consider crystal to be good.) but....


This is an amazing piece of jewelry from Ireland. A 1970's blue-gray chalcedony nodule set is yellow gold and highlighted by diamonds. My favorite aspect is the cocentricity of the center set circles and paired with the asymmetry and roughness of the piece overall. I also like this piece because it's rough and it reminds me of the rough terrain of Ireland. This piece represents that beauty in unrefinedness.
