Smithsonite central stone in its natural crystal form is the highlight of this teal colored necklace. The color enhanced chalcedony briolettes are separated by dark apatites and tiny seed pearls. It is strung with color enhanced freshwater, cultured peacock pearls and a 14k gold lobster claw clasp. The string is a durable synthetic string that won't shred, stretch or fray like silk.

This necklace is fit for an actress because it is so dramatic! The central stone in the pendant is a stunningly facetted rare mandarin spessertite garnet. It is AAA grade material that has risen in price exponentially since I purchased this stone two years ago. Material of this quality is now fetching about $1200. per carat and is almost impossible to find in this large a size with such great faceting! The accent pearl is an Aubergine Tahitian (South Sea) pearl. It is extraordinary!

All exceptionally well matched, even better than the photo because the lighting makes one look darker than the other but they are the same! The pink and champagne are facetted tourmaline briolettes, the lighter stones are facetted aquamarine teardrops. 14k gold construction.

Sometimes the pendants I make are figurative, like people sketches using stones. It is abstract, but it has been pointed out to me every so often by customers and I agree. This necklace looks like Carmen Veranda. Or if you have a sense of humor, it reminds me of the I Love Lucy show where Lucy dresses up like a showgirl with a big basket of fruit on her head! But seriously, while it is an unusual one of a kind design, it contains significant stones. A prong set, beautiful rust and gold 17mm x 15mm slice of tourmaline with a 12mm x 7mm marquis cut rich rust tourmaline bezel set in 22k gold.

I can get lost in the 6mm princess cut bicolor tourmaline stone on the bottom of this infinity necklace. The top stone is a beautiful 5.5mm brilliant cut saturated green tourmaline and to top it off, even the facetted beads are bicolor! It is the subtleties in the details that I take pride in my work and this is a perfect example. It is strung with a 14k lobster claw clasp to about 18 1/4 inches in length on a durable synthetic fiber that moves like silk but doesn't stretch, shred or fray like silk.

This necklace is fine quality pink and green smooth tourmaline drops with facetted carnelian accents. It is a 14k gold wave design, strung to 18” on a durable synthetic string that moves like silk but won’t shred, stretch, or fray like silk.

This is my favorite of the jasper necklace line. The pattern of the stone is so pretty and the colors are very rich. There was a quartz crystal pocket within the smooth crystal face. Although the natural pocket was very pretty, I couldn’t resist bezel setting a tiny ruby inside just to add a little punch of intensity! I have strung the smooth picture jasper with high end sparkly chrome tourmaline facetted briolette beads. They give the necklace nice articulation because they move like little paddles when worn. There are also 14k gold accent roundels and lobster claw clasp.

I designed this unique line of necklaces that mixes unusual pieces of jasper with sparkly facetted gemstones. This particular jasper has a maroon and cream mottled affect. It is strung with pretty facetted purple fluorite polyhedrons, tiny facetted rhodolite garnet beads and maroon color enhanced, egg shaped, freshwater cultured pearls. The pearls gives the necklace a unique texture and movement, while the garnets add sparkle. It is strung to a long 22” with a 14k gold lobster claw clasp.

I received a bead making lesson from Lisa Joy Sachs at her studio. This is one of the beads I made. It resembles a seashell. The colors are soft and earthy in pink, coral, and tan. Therefore, I have strung it with fine gradient cinnamon zircons and peach tourmaline facetted beads. There are two gold color enhanced fresh water cultured pearls accenting the glass shell. The gemstone beads are extremely good quality. The length of the necklace is 19.5 inches.
