SALE Double Strand Necklace in Agates, Chilean Cat's Eye, Brecciated Jasper and Ruby

Artisan Jewelry : Sets, Parures

 

This is almost a choker style necklace with the inner strand only measuring 15 3/4". That inner strand is composed entirely of 4mm Ruby round beads with some sterling silver drop daisy spacers intermittently spaced. The outer strand has the focal pendant bead of an almost pear shaped Agate with an interesting inner band of mahogany. Working with those colors, I added Gold Lace Agate, Brecciated Jasper Tube beads, Cairngorm Smoky Quartz round beads, Chilean Cat's Eye and some light beige tube beads of which I don't have the name. A sterling silver 3 strand slide clasp adds the finishing touch. (The middle ring on both sides of the clasp has the Cat's Eye round beads). The matching earrings contain the same components as the necklace with the addition of sterling silver granulated spacer beads on the top and bottom and dropping from sterling silver French ear wires.

As mentioned, the inner strand measures 15 3/4" and the outer strand measures 17 1/2", not including the clasp which would add about a 1/2" to the overall length. The earrings drop 1 1/4" from the ear wires.

I love how this necklace turned out ~ it's sophisticated and has versatility both in design and color palette
