Kissed one too many frogs only to find they were....frogs? Have some fun with the "Prince of Frogs" in this necklace spelling out how the dating scene can be: B-A-D Love! The Grimm fairytale "The Frog Prince" is likely the most well known, but similar tales are found in Russian, Scottish and Sri Lankan tales. Aventurine is a variety of quartz with minute inclusions of other materials such as mica, pyrite and hematite giving it some muted sparkle, and green aventurine is colored by green fuchsite mica. Black freshwater pearl makes a nice contrast to the smooth green aventurine, and sterling silver toggle and charm can be worn offset to be visible.

Cost: $46.00 USD

Length: necklace - 17"

Materials:

  • green aventurine beads
  • dyed freshwater pearls
  • sterling silver beads
  • sterling silver charm
  • sterling silver toggle clasp
  • Soft Flex moderate duty nylon coated stainless steel wire (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 beading cord and components should be robust to any toddler tugs and pulls; however, care should be taken with the frog charm as determined tugging could pull it loose. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
