In C++, a base class is a user-defined data type with attributes, useful for characterizing objects, that can be inherited by later derived classes. This necklace base class is a long, single strand of smaller scale gemstones that can be worn as a single strand, doubled as a shorter necklace, or wrapped multiple times as a bracelet. A magnetic clasp makes for simple fastening in any use. This instantiation of the class includes fluorite rectangles spaced with lavender seedbeads and fastened with a silver-plated brass magnetic clasp. Fluorite is a colorful, fluorescent gemstone with a relatively low hardness and perfect cleavage.

Cost: $60.00 USD

Length: necklace - 39"

Materials:

  • fluorite rectangle beads
  • Japanese glass seedbeads
  • silver-plated brass components
  • silver-plated brass magnetic clasp
  • Accuflex nylon coated stainless steel beading cord

Care & cleaning: Beading cord may be frayed or severed through hard jerks or prolonged exposure to rough or sharp edges; store necklace flat when not in use to prevent stretching or fraying cord. Clean with warm soapy water and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on metal.

The materials and cord in this necklace are robust to tugs and pulls from most activities, though care should be taken to avoid hard impacts as fluorite is a softer gemstone. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
