In The Aeneid, Lavinia has no voice which is odd considering she marries Aeneas and has his child. Details, details. Ursula Le Guin gave her a voice in her 2008 novel, filling in thought and humanity where there was none. This glowing bright blue apatite 23" necklace is appropriate for one living so near Mediterranean shores. The clear gemstones are like water, flowing along silk cord with golden beads. This elegant necklace fastens easily with a 14kt gold-fill toggle.

Cost: $54.00 USD

Materials:

  • apatite gemstones
  • 14kt gold-fill beads and components

This mid-length 23" necklace drapes nicely over most necklines and wears best with thinner materials.
