The centerpiece of this 18" necklace is a fan-shaped sterling silver focal piece inset with tiny marcasite and garnet gemstones, like a small bouquet of flowers. From it hang three garnet stones and a sterling silver drop of marcasite "leaves". The center is framed with lovely luminous freshwater rice pearls interspersed with Bali silver beads. The fold-over clasp is sterling silver inset with a line of marcasite between sterling silver links with garnet cabochons. The necklace is stylish but simple, small-scale but strong. It could easily be a bride's or a bridesmaid's accessory to an elegant dress.

Cost: $121.00 USD

Length: necklace - 18"

Materials:

  • garnet and marcasite gemstones set in sterling silver
  • faceted garnet gemstone beads
  • freshwater pearls
  • Bali silver beads
  • garnet set in sterling silver links
  • marcasite set in sterling silver fold-over clasp
  • Power Pro moderate duty braided Spectra Fiber™ cord (30 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.

The garnet gemstone drops from the pendant can be pulled loose with hard tugging so it is recommended to keep this out of reach of young hands. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
