Contrarian Lariat Necklace

The term contrarian means someone who disagrees with trends, sometimes just to challenge the status quo. With this collection I wanted to challenge the current belief that technology was improving society and use found objects like rocks and pebbles to create wearable reminders that we always have the choice to go another way. Each piece is cast directly from stones I picked up during my walks, and the bottom pebble on the Lariat is set with a Sky Blue Sapphire.
