Introduce your wardrobe to a wild vegetable. Allium ampeloprasum is a kind of wild leek, though the ampeloprasum group is better known for elephant or levant garlic and the porrum group contains the leeks with edible stems. This 16" necklace and 2" drop earrings jewelry set features prasiolite and hematite gemstones with sterling silver. Prasiolite is a naturally occurring and treated green quartz whose name comes from the Greek "prason" meaning "leek," and the cool green color is like that of the plant. The faceted rounds are combined with gleaming dark hematite tube beads in the necklace and framed by sterling silver in the earrings for a stunning jewelry set of modern cool color. Sterling silver toggle clasp and tapered marquise-shaped ear wires.

Cost: $143.00 USD

This shorter 16" necklace works well with higher necklines with thinner fabric. The 2" drop earrings are lightweight and won't interfere with most collars.
