In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen gives us lively Lizzy and good-natured Jane, both of whom have strong sense and sensibility. Jane's manners may be quieter than her sister's, but her feelings are deep and equally strong to any expressed by her sister. She is cheerful and sees the good in others, even in some cases to her own detriment. She is well suited to life within the gentle circles of her birth and generally admired for her beauty and fine character. She finds a like kind in Mr. Bingley, and Mr. Bennet exaggerates, but only slightly, on the suitability of each to the other: "I have not a doubt of your doing very well together. Your tempers are by no means unalike. You are each of you so complying, that nothing will ever be resolved upon; so easy, that every servant will cheat you; and so generous, that you will always exceed your income." This multi-strand tourmaline necklace is classic style and materials; tourmaline has been a popular jewelry gemstone across time and the small faceted stones reflect the classic yellow-green to red-purple hues characteristic to this lovely gem.

Cost: $174.00 USD

Length: necklace - 18"

Materials:

  • tourmaline gemstone beads
  • 14kt gold-fill beads
  • 14kt gold-fill cones
  • vermeil hook & eye clasp
  • Power Pro moderate duty braided Spectra Fiber™ (30 lb. load test)

Care & cleaning: Beading cord may be kinked or broken through hard jerks or severed through prolonged exposure to rough or sharp edges; store necklace flat when not in use to prevent stretching or kinking cord. Clean with warm soapy water and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners.

Tourmaline is a hard mineral (Mohs 7 - 7.5) and the beading cord is strong, but the delicate nature of the design means it's probably best to keep out of the reach of young hands. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
