Crystal crest necklace and earrings

This project was created as part of a “rhythm” design challenge. I thought of the movements of ocean waves. I love the ocean! I can sit on the beach for hours watching and listening to the water. Even the splashing has its own sound and rhythm. I tried to recreate that feeling — the relaxing and re-energizing experience of the ocean — in these projects.
