Blue Gemstone Drop Choker

Blue Gemstone Drop Choker
Made for a neckline that wants one clean line of gold and a flash of color, this blue topaz choker suspends three faceted blue topaz in an open pendant, framed by 14k gold-filled paperclip chains. It is a wire choker pared down to its structure: minimal at a glance, bold once it is on.
A wire choker formed as a perfect circle gaps and tilts, because a neck is not a perfect circle. This one is shaped by hand from heavy-gauge recycled 14/20k gold-filled wire, worked on an anvil to follow the natural curves of the neck and collarbone. Each topaz is turned so its flattest facet faces the back and rests against your skin instead of floating away from it, and the connector loops were adjusted until the pendant hangs straight on your centerline.
Wear it with a crew neck, an open collar or a bare shoulder. It pairs with the Oval Chain Link Drop Gemstone Earrings, which share its open shapes and paperclip chain.
One of a kind, made once by Andrea Li in her Denver studio for the Pastel Gemstone Jewelry collection: for the woman who leads all day and still wants to feel feminine.

Matches beautifully with:
Will it lie flat on my neck?
That is what the shaping is for. I worked the heavy-gauge 14/20k gold-filled wire on an anvil with a rawhide hammer so it follows the curve of the neck and collarbone, since a choker formed as a perfect circle gaps and tilts.
Do the stones tilt or flip?
Each blue topaz is turned so its flattest facet faces the back of the choker and rests against your skin. I adjusted the wire-wrapped connector loops on every stone to the length of the pendant and the paperclip chains until it hung straight.
Are there matching earrings?
Yes. The choker grew out of the Oval Chain Link Drop Gemstone Earrings, which share its open shapes and 14k gold-filled paperclip chains. Each is one of a kind, handmade by Andrea Li in Denver.
A concave-cut green amethyst at the end of a long drop is the point of this pastel gemstone drop necklace, a one-of-a-kind pendant on recycled 14k gold-filled paperclip and circle link chains. Its curved, scalloped facets catch the light as you move.
Above it, blue topaz carries the line down from a cluster of Japanese Akoya keshi pearls, Australian opal, yellow aquamarine, aquamarine, kunzite, pale amethyst, mystic quartz, and purple and gray sapphires, with gold U-shapes on either side.
If a cluster this full makes you wonder whether it will look busy, the palette is the answer: watery blues, soft greens and pale violet, every stone chosen for how it sits beside its neighbors rather than on its own. After living with the finished piece, Andrea added one slice of Australian opal with soft blue flashes to close the last gap in the cluster. Two more topaz sit where the chain turns around the neck, so the design carries all the way to where the necklace disappears from view.
Wear it with a crisp white shirt or a scoop neck, where the drop has room to fall.
