Bold colors and well-defined shapes are characteristics of this 26" necklace of chrysoprase and crystal. Like an orchid, it shows dramatic color and shape contrasts for an elegant and distinctive appearance. Chrysoprase is a fine-grained quartz (like chalcedony) whose green color comes from trace amounts of nickel. This long necklace shows many of the shades of the gemstone, from pale blue-green to deep apple green. The gemstones are spaced with cool, crisp sterling silver beads, pomegranate colored glass seedbeads, and sparkling fuchsia Swarovski crystals. Sterling silver hook and eye clasp.

Cost: $71.00 USD
