No matter the fairytale, you count on the stepmother to show two traits: 1) wickedness and 2) blindness or aversion to natural beauty. Now, I can't do anything about the wickedness, but with this necklace a poor stepmother can show she appreciates the beauty of gemstones in their natural form! The large central stone is tourmaline, flanked by by emeralds and garnets. Together, the emerald, garnet and tourmaline nuggets make for a delicious dark 17" necklace.

Cost: $41.50 USD

Length: necklace - 17"

Materials:

  • tourmaline bead
  • emerald beads
  • garnet beads
  • sterling silver beads
  • sterling silver toggle clasp
  • Soft Flex moderate duty nylon coated stainless steel wire (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. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on silver.

The beading cord and components should be robust to any toddler tugs and pulls. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
