Bare Skin Nugget Necklace

Todd Bracken finds gold nuggets, and he makes gold nuggets. Both kinds share a raw, natural one-of-a-kind look. But the nuggets he and his master goldsmiths create are able to be strung on a golden cord so supple and soft the nuggets feel like a strand of delicate pearls until you pick up a necklace and discover the weight of real gold. The muted glow the artist achieves on each 22-karat nugget is captivating when worn on bare skin. Each 16-inch necklace with hallmarked toggle clasp weighs approximately 33 grams. (Like pearls, these nuggests should be restrung often.)
