After the rain, there's a rainbow. Emilie Shapiro's Spectrum collection is inspired by hope, represented by rainbows in many cultures. They appear as perfect arcs, often during a rainstorm when the sun shines onto water droplets, shattering its white light into an array of brilliant colors. Out of dark emerges light. Out of fear emerges love.

This understated necklace has rough aquamarine embedded in brass between handmade textured brass bars, and finished with a handmade clasp.
