"Blues" Necklace

Amethyst, tanzanite, quartz, and faceted cathedral beads make these blue hues come alive with texture and shine. The amethyst chips range in color from pale to deep purple, and the tanzanite pieces are a beautiful blue, with flecks of color for contrast. Tanzanite also displays hue-shifting, meaning the color you see will change a bit, depending on the angle and quality of the light. Clear quartz, like bits of ice, provide extra sparkle among the gems and beads. And here and there, a sterling silver bead catches the light.

Amethyst is the birthstone for February, making this a beautiful gift for a February birthday. Also, you may be interested to know that tanzanite, according to African folklore, is said to help relax and slow down intense individuals who deal with pressure on a regular basis, allowing them to lead less stressful, more productive and healthier lives.

The necklace is finished with a sterling silver lobster claw clasp. Length is approximately 20 inches. Price: $50 US plus shipping.
