Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Stephanie Simek's Crystallized Sugar Necklace is Deliciously Chic

— August 19, 2011 — Fashion
It is easy to see why the Crystallized Sugar Necklace looks so deliciously appealing. It has the fragile beauty of raw gems as well as the sweetness of rock candy. A wearable confection, it only begs the questions of how long can a person possibly resist such a delectable and good-looking treat?

Created by Stephanie Simek, the Crystallized Sugar Necklace has a soft and airy quality about it that perfectly embraces the essence of its material. The effulgent and ethereal clusters of natural crystals are at once organic and contemporary. Not to mention that because Simek herself chisels off pieces of this crystallized sugar from a bigger rock, each piece is uniquely shaped, making each necklace a one-of-a-kind creation. Nevertheless, each Crystallized Sugar Necklace features a horizontal cluster on a delicate, sterling silver curb chain.
