Speckled blues and pale neutrals make for a nice contrast in this 16" necklace porcelain, glass and stone. Ceramic is a larger category describing anything made from heat hardened clay, and the necklace features rustic charm of mottled materials that have the look and feel of my favorite ceramic pieces.

Cost: $42.00 USD

Length: necklace - 16"

Materials:

  • lampwork glass beads
  • porcelain beads
  • rainbow moonstone beads
  • dyed magnesite beads
  • picture jasper beads
  • sterling silver beads
  • sterling silver toggle clasp
  • SoftFlex nylon-coated stainless steel beading cord (10 lb load test)

Care & cleaning: Beading cord may be kinked or broken through hard jerks or severed through prolonged exposure to rough or sharp edges; store necklace flat when not in use to prevent stretching or kinking cord. Clean with warm soapy water and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on silver.

Although a 10 lb. load test doesn't sound robust, it is stronger than one may think! This necklace should withstand plenty of "loving" from inquistive hands. The beading cord may fray and break if rubbed against rough edges, and the necklace is likely to break near the clasp with a sharp yank (such as catching it on something while moving forward with full body weight). Magnesite is a soft material and beads may chip or break if dropped or stepped on. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.

This 16" works well with flat-front shirts like t-shirts and shells. It may be partnered with a collared shirt, but it would likely need to be tucked inside.
