Tideglass

Tideglass | Labradorite, Black Onyx, Freshwater Pearl & Smoky Quartz Necklace | Swarovski Crystal Coastal Jewelry by K. Tiffany Delano
 
Description
 
Along the shoreline, waves polish glass into treasures softened by time and tide. Tideglass draws inspiration from those rare discoveries—objects transformed by nature into something unexpectedly beautiful.
Handcrafted with glowing labradorite, rich black onyx, luminous freshwater pearls, smoky quartz, and sparkling Swarovski crystals, this sophisticated 15-inch necklace captures the colors and textures of a moonlit coastline. The palette moves from deep charcoal and silver-gray to flashes of blue and soft pearl white, creating a design that feels both dramatic and refined.
Labradorite serves as the centerpiece of the composition, revealing flashes of blue, silver, and stormy green as it catches the light. Black onyx adds depth and strength, while smoky quartz contributes warmth and complexity with its translucent, mist-like tones. Freshwater pearls bring timeless elegance and softness, beautifully balancing the darker gemstones. Swarovski crystals provide the finishing touch, reflecting light like tiny droplets of seawater beneath the moon.
At 15 inches, Tideglass rests gracefully along the collarbone, making it a versatile piece that can be worn alone as a sophisticated focal point or layered with longer necklaces for a curated heirloom look.
Designed in the signature Refined Coastal Heirloom aesthetic of K. Tiffany Delano, Tideglass celebrates the beauty of natural materials, artisan craftsmanship, and the quiet luxury of treasures shaped by the sea.
Elegant, mysterious, and endlessly wearable, Tideglass captures the spirit of the shoreline after sunset.
