This Rocks and Rivers inlay necklace echoes the flow of water through stone, with natural patterns and shifting hues capturing movement, connection, and the quiet strength of place. Inlay is the process of setting stone into precisely carved spaces within metal or other stone, creating bold designs with depth, color, and contrast. Hand-cut pieces of pearl, opal, turquoise, lapis, and carnelian are assembled into a playful shape reminiscent of a fish, with a Montana sapphire forming its tiny eye. Each stone becomes part of the larger composition, with layers of color that evoke shimmering scales, moving water, and the ever-changing colors of the ocean.
