Cylindrical glass beads with segmented line of graduated tourmaline (rubellite) rondelles progressing to rubellite rondelles, alternating with multi-colored heishi tourmaline slices

Soft streams of warm neutrals coalesce to the admirable intensity of bronze, metallic green, metallic blue and purple in this exquisite work of October by Claire Kahn. Skillfully, the maker sections off the composition into threeexpressions to best facilitate her intended design. Pure patterned neutrals are progressivelysuperseded by the piece's darker palette. At first, Kahn graces thenecklace with graduated tourmaline in a rich, dramatic pink. Reaching the heart of the work, sheendows its lustrous outer perimeter with pale pink, yellow, green and blue tourmaline slices to satisfy a pleasing spectrum of color. An exceptionally intricate and versatile work to behold, on the body its marvelous splendor becomes the object of endless infatuation. Quite a palpable delight as we celebrate the beginning of fall in October's autumnal serenity.
