This owl necklace features a napping owl dangling from a brass tree branch among oak leaves and acorns. Rich chocolate pearls in shades of brown, rust and rose gather up the necklace. A lone stone of Crazy Lace Agate is a sign of snow to come or just leaving. I've added jade tubes to make the connection between the pearls and the lovely aged brass chain.

I took two brass stampings and put a bronze patina on them to give them more depth. Those were wired together along with the cute little owl from Tree Wing Studios.

Adjustable from 16 to 19 inches.

A girl of any age would love this nature inspired necklace.

Almost every month I participate in Art Bead Scene's challenge where they post an inspiration piece, usually a painting, and you create a piece of jewelry inspired by it. Please take a look at my blog post to see the inspiration painting and more info on my creation!
