Amazing Amazonite!


I love these stones! They're a wonderful light green color, perfect for Spring and Summer, or to remind us that Spring and Summer will be coming after this Ohio snow!

The necklace is a loose choker length, perfect to wear with a blouse or light weight sweater. It's made with several cuts of Amazonite gemstones: teardrops, faceted rectangles, faceted rondelles. You get a lot of rock for your money! Some Swarovski beads are tucked in for a gentle sparkle.

In order to appease those of you who prefer gold to silver, this piece is sprinkled with some 14KT gold-filled beads and a 14KT gold-filled clasp.

The earrings are also Amazonite, and were quite labor-intensive. 14KT gold-filled chain gently swirls around the gemstones. These dangle from 14KT gold-filled earring hooks. It actually took twice the time to make these as the necklace took in order to get the chain to hang just right!

These are original designs.

This set has sold, but I can make you one that is similar. I will not make it exactly as shown so you can have an original as well. Please contact me if you're interested!
