Large green-blue aquamarine nuggets of the this deeper hue are hard to find. This 18.5" necklace is economically priced because the gemstones are a lower grade, meaning that they show inclusions of other material and numerous internal cleavage planes. However, these features add to the mottled appearance to the stones for a nice overall casual appearance. The gemstones are paired with pale pink Czech glass and Bali silver spacers and strung on a heavyweight silk cord for fluid drape, which allows the stones to move as through water. large sterling silver hook & eye clasp.

Cost: $47.00 USD

This is a chunkier mid-length 18" necklace so it's worn best with looser fitting jackets and tops with room for the necklace's volume. Because the necklace is strung on silk cord, it has fluid movement and superior drape. Pair it with casual tees and soft sweaters.
