In C++, a base class is a user-defined data type with attributes, useful for characterizing objects, that can be inherited by later derived classes. This necklace base class is a long, single strand of smaller scale gemstones that can be worn as a single strand, doubled as a shorter necklace, or wrapped multiple times as a bracelet. A magnetic clasp makes for simple fastening in any use. This instantiation of the class includes red aventurine rectangles spaced with slate gray seedbeads and fastened with a gold-plated brass magnetic clasp. Red aventurine is a kind of microcrystaline quartz with hematite or goethite inclusions that give the stone its red colar and can show a glittering appearance.

Cost: $52.00 USD

Materials:

  • red aventurine rectangle beads
  • Japanese glass seedbeads
  • gold-plated brass components
  • gold-plated brass magnetic clasp
  • Accuflex nylon coated stainless steel beading cord

Care & cleaning: Beading cord may be frayed or severed through hard jerks or prolonged exposure to rough or sharp edges; store necklace flat when not in use to prevent stretching or fraying cord.
