This one-of-a-kind necklace celebrates the mysterious beauty of the sea with a captivating octopus pendant as its centerpiece. Meticulously handcrafted from eco-friendly fine silver precious metal clay, the 2-inch pendant reveals the creature’s sinuous tentacles curling in lifelike motion,  textured to reflect the play of light across the silver’s surface. At the heart of the design rests a luminous dichroic glass cabochon, carefully chosen for its Caribbean colors and playful bubbles, which serves as the octopus’s head. 

Suspended from an 18-inch sterling silver chain, the pendant is complemented by a series of hand-strung green opal beads, whose natural patterns and subtle color variations echo the hues of tide pools and shoreline treasures. The chain itself is handcrafted, each link shaped and joined with care to create a piece that is as sturdy as it is elegant. Together, the silver, glass, and opal form a composition that feels both mythical and organic—an homage to the ocean’s artistry, full of movement, mystery, and wonder.

Perfect for lovers of the sea, collectors of unique statement jewelry, or anyone drawn to the fluid grace of ocean life, this necklace is more than an accessory—it’s a wearable work of art.

>>>Fine silver metal clay is an eco-friendly product made from recycled silver. The metal is pulverized into minute particles and mixed with an organic cellulose binder and water to form a clay. When fired, the binder burns out and what remains is pure silver. The clay used here is Art Clay, from Aida Chemicals in Japan, which is a green company.

>>>Green African opal jasper is a confusing name, one of many given to a stone that has apparently not yet been pinned down! It is sometimes called impression jasper, African turquoise, aqua terra jasper and variscite. It is a natural jasper from Africa, sometimes appearing with a jelly-like luster, some opal-like qualities, some turquoise-like qualities.  It has a beautiful matrix, inclusions of minerals like copper and iron, which can resemble that of turquoise, but because of its crystal quartz make up, is a much harder stone than turquoise. Jasper has been a favorite stone since ancient times, the name coming from Greek meaning "spotted stone." Whatever you want to call it, it is a beautiful and versatile stone, and a personal favorite of mine!

***Green opal jasper from Africa is a cleansing and rejuvenating stone. It brings energy and quick recovery from illness and exhaustion. It promotes inner peace and aids emotional healing. It grows love and compassion. It is a stone of change and transformation, encouraging the mind to open to new possibilities.  It provides balance and confidence, and renews spirit and energy.  It activates the fourth heart chakra, Anahata, the middle chakra that unites the physical and spiritual chakras, and is the source of love and connection, and it stimulates and clears the sixth third eye chakra, Ajna, the center of intuition, imagination, wisdom, and the ability to think and make decisions.  It is the birthstone of Aires and the month of April.
