The process begins on an etching press. This choker is made of tiny collagraphs - a textured relief printing process. I print them myself on ‘washable paper’ - a German-made product of cellulose and synthetic latex. I then assemble the necklace with red recycled vinyl beads on flexible stainless steel cable. It has a hand-fabricated sterling silver ‘s’ clasp. The piece is super light and 21 inches long. It will fall about 5 inches below the wearer's collar bone. While I would not suggest actually washing it, the necklace is quite sturdy!
