Chrysoprase Necklace Large Jade Beads & Rock Crystal Quartz Gemstones - Custom Design 20" Long

Artisan Jewelry : Necklaces : Chrysophrase, Jade & Rock Crystal Quartz Gemstone Necklace 20" Long - One Of A Kind Custom Design

 

Beautiful and rare one of a kind multi gemstone necklace made of Sliced Chrysoprase, Round Large Jade Beads and Crackled Transparent Rock Crystal Quartz in both tube shapes and Rondelles.

This very unusual bold necklace of green and transparent gemstones was custom designed by my Princeton Jeweler from gemstones and beads in his collection. It is a one of a kind necklace to display the beauty of nature found in apple green Chrysoprase that is referred to as "sliced", the large round Jade beads and the tube shape and large rondelles crackled Rock Crystal Quartz.

Most Chrysoprase and Rock Crystal Quartz is mined in Brazil and the Jade from China where the tradition of creating objects from jade goes back 6000 years. The gemstone Chrysoprase is an opalescent apple green colored variety of chalcedony (quartz) and is the rarest of the chalcedony group. It is semi-opaque and measures 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness and all the other gemstones in this necklace all measure 7 also.

There are a total of 6 pieces of sliced Chrysoprase set evenly between the Quartz Crystal Rondelles in the center with 7 large Green Jade Balls that measure approximately 12 mm. The 6 sliced pieces of Chrysoprase are all different irregular shapes from nature but are all smoothly polished and vary in length between 3/4" to 1-1/4" long and approximately 5 mm thick with slight variations among the 6.

In between are the 12 crystal clear crackled quartz rondelles measuring approximately 15 mm high and add a sparkle to the center focal point of this balanced design, towards each end are the 14 cylindrical crackled rock crystal tube shapes approximately 14 mm long with small chips of green jade in between and a silver ball clasp that has a safety bar.

This entire necklace is very smooth and cool to the touch and is hefty, the clear beads are not glass but actual Rock Crystal Quartz. I have only worn it only one time and it is quite a conversation piece.
