This piece is a special one that I likely won't part company with. It is a memorial piece for an acquaintance who was killed this month in Halifax, NS. Trevor was a really friendly person with a great personality. He had a real gift for caring, lifting the spirit and entertaining. We only knew him from his job at a Halifax restaurant which we frequented whenever we were in town for shows. He was one of the reasons we kept going back. We will miss him too.
The tragedy of this story is that Trevor was one of three victims killed by a young man in need of mental health assistance. Two were gay men in Halifax, the third was a man in New York state. The murderer is a victim of schizophrenia and a victim of provincial health care policies.
This neck piece represents the rainbow, a symbol that Trevor sported openly, using a lab-grown ruby, garnet CZ, heliodor, simulated peridot and topaz and an amethyst CZ. Clear Czech crystals form the 'rain' that falls into the rainbow as well as being used in the chain. The setting was made using sterling silver.
