サンゴ白: Sango Shiro or White Coral Pendant
A sunset on the Japanese beach where we love to camp.
My husband, Brian found this piece of coral for me one summer afternoon. The beach we love is covered in shards of white coral, sprawling vines of morning glories, and also tiny pine trees that look like miniature Christmas trees. I loved the shape (I thought of Yves Saint Laurent who used to collect "Y" shaped objects) and the surface of the piece and decided to bezel set it in 14k yellow gold and string it on an opera length (36") gold chain. It is a fun piece to layer and it evokes the beachy, earthy aesthetic here in Okinawa. The Japanese revere nature and go to great lengths to create beautiful gardens and outside spaces. At Japanese restaurants I have seen coral scattered decoratively on tabletops or around votive candles or even as a place to rest your chopsticks.

Another rosy hued sunset.
Our yorkie, Creasie, soaking in the sun.
My boys.
Our tiny fire.
The next morning, still pretty!
I love the trees that grow out of craggy rocks in the middle of the water. Japan has so many sculptural, natural scenes.
