Joie de Vivre jewelry

Vesuvianite forms from limestone with elements like chromium, zinc, and sulfur under heat and pressure of metamorphic change (such as from volcanic eruptions, like where the mineral was discovered on Mt. Vesuvius). The pebbles in this 29" necklace glow warm deep olive green, a product of earthly fires below the surface. The beads are strung on silk and spaced with delicate Japanese glass seedbeads, and these are connected with an elegant diamond-cut long oval chain with several Czech glass beads. The necklace fastens with a 3-ring sterling silver toggle clasp, but the necklace also generally fits over one's head.

Cost: $62.00 USD
