tuxi garnet clear quartz necklace in red

Garnet is one of those stones that rewards patience. In poor light it reads as a deep, anonymous red. Handsome enough, but unremarkable. In good light, held at the right angle, it opens into something far richer: a color that moves between burgundy, ruby, and a deep wine that has no satisfactory name. The Tuxi is built around that quality, threading garnet along a dainty strand with a regularity that becomes almost meditative to look at and then interrupting it, at intervals, with clear quartz.
 
The two stones do not match, they converse. And the conversation, played out across a fine dainty strand at the collarbone, produces a necklace with considerably more presence than its slender profile would suggest. This is precisely the kind of piece that photographs simply and wears extraordinarily. 
 
Handmade in Melbourne, the Tuxi Necklace is finished with sterling silver and stainless steel chain, clasp, and components: hardware refined enough to honour the delicacy of the design, durable enough to withstand the frequency with which a necklace this versatile will inevitably be worn. Available in 36cm, 40cm, and 50cm.
