The acrobatics known as "flying trapeze" acts were created in 1859 when a Frenchman named Leotard
connected cords to a bar and practiced exercises over his family's swimming pool to
eventually perform in the Cirque Napoleon. Today, the flying trapeze remains one of the most popular
acts at the circus as well as inspiring a number of trapeze schools.
The "trapeze" in this necklace is a simple bar of sterling silver wire, strung with
rose quartz beads and wrapped by gorgeous blue topaz faceted gemstones. Like most blue topaz
available as beaded jewelry components, it has been heated to achieve the delicate blue color
(natural topaz in generally colorless or yellow, turning to pink or blue when heated and/or irradiated).
The clasp is a cool hinged hook to keep the trapeze where it belongs and not flying off!
Cost: $162.00 USD

The sterling silver chain and wire are robust to tugs and pulls, though care should be taken not
to pull the topaz strand too much as it may distort the wrapping. As with
all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
