Long Olive Green and Plum Gemstone and Pearl Necklace in Gold

These long pearl necklaces have quickly become my favourite pieces to make. I love working with color, and these necklaces allow me to combine colors like an artist might. The challenge is to choose the right pearls and gemstones to blend from one color to the next, all the way around the necklace. It's also a great excuse to buy "just one more set of beads". Many shades of green, plum and gold are incorporated into this piece, from the darkest olive green to the palest gold; from dark mulberry to the softest lavender. I used green quartz, oro verde, champagne citrine, honey quartz and beer quartz for the gemstones; and freshwater pearls in several shades of olive, lavender and plum. There is no clasp on the necklace, which allows you to position it many different ways, highlighting in front the colour that you choose to show. The length of this necklace is approx. 33" (84cm) and is considered opera-length. My mannequin is life-sized and should give you an idea as to where the necklace sits. Please note that this necklace is not long enough to loop twice around your neck. If you would prefer a longer necklace, please contact me and I will quote you a price. This necklace will be packaged in a small gift box.
