Jaunty Geometric Geodes

Any woman who ever even glances at the television, movies or fashion magazines knows that open designs are all the rage! Large open chains that resemble small hoops are seen everywhere now! These open designs give others a glimpse of your lovely skin that is seen through the window of the shape.

A dear friend of mine chose these stones for me at the world-reknown Hong Kong gem show. The HK show is considered the cream-of-the-crop of all gemshows that exist. She spotted these gemstone geode slices, and was immediately taken aback by their beauty! (And who would have thought that the open-work chain that is so in fashion actually takes its lead from nature?!) The interior of the stones naturally have this open/"negative" space, and upon closer inspection you can see crystal drusy formations.

I complemented these stones with sterling-silver wrapped loops that link each stone to one another. Curved sterling silver tubes gently lead the necklace up your neckline to attach to open-work chain and a circular clasp.

A little dangle of chalcedony beads gives the person who is sitting behind you something pretty to look at, too! (That is, in addition to seeing the pretty back of your head.)

A definite fun piece! Imagine it paired with jeans, a t-shirt and a jean jacket. Or perhaps a monochrome look of a black turtleneck, black slacks, and then your statement geode piece! Oh, please don't let all the compliments go to your head!
