Named after the towering sandstone bluffs and cliffs found at the Rainbow Valley Conservation Area in the Outback of Australia, the WURRE DREAMS handmade necklace definitely contains the multitude of earthy colors found on the majestic (and humbling) land. The one of a kind necklace features amazing Red Creek jasper gemstone ovals in softly muted shades of mustard yellow, olive green, medium tan, burnt red and dark eggplant, mimicking picturesque sunset colors. The Rainbow Valley Conservation Area is on the traditional lands of the Upper Southern Arrernte people and is known to them as Wurre.
To perfectly complementing the Red Creek jasper, golden amber with dark honey amber rondelles were used between each jasper oval, separated by 3 mm sterling silver beads. Three amber rodelles were used at the back of the necklace right before the clasp. I wish you could see how the lovely amber captures the light and positively radiates glowing goodness! *** Please note, the amber used in the necklace is real amber but not “natural” amber. The amber used to create the rondelles was melted and reformed under great pressure, called pressed or reconstructed amber (approximately 80% of amber today is pressed amber).
To finish the unique, earthy necklace, a hammered sterling silver hook clasp set was used. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog designs, the Australia-inspired WURRE DREAMS necklace is a perfect gift idea for the woman who loves one of a kind artisan created jewelry.
