Green crystal and opalite glass necklace

one-of-a-kind

This rather stunning twisted three-stranded necklace combines faceted clear glass beads with glowing opalite glass, large green faceted and neat faceted green Swarovski crystal.

I've not made anything like it before and it's been hard to do justice to it in the photographs. Because of the lack of fussy in-between beads, I think you could wear it with casual or smart wear.

The strands are brought together at ornate sterling silver terminators and the necklace includes a beaded extension to make it up to 24" long.

Size

17" - 24"

Featured beads

  • Swarovski crystal
  • Opalite glass (6mm)

Long blue agate vintage gold glass necklace

one-of-a-kind

This dramatic long necklace features large (5cm) dyed blue agate beads. I've combined them with gold-coloured glass beads from a vintage necklace on gold-plated wire.

The agate blues are patterned in natural stripes and swirls.

The glass beads have an iridescent bluey gold coating. On close inspection, the coating is worn at the ends of some of the beads.

The necklace can be worn long or doubled, as it can be undone with a barrel screw clasp.

Size

  • Agate

Vintage pendant necklace with prehnite

one-of-a-kind

This necklace is made from vintage and new elements.

The 1.25" x 1.5" pendant dates from the 1960s or 1970s. It features a cabochon of swirls in various greens. It's quite light and unlikely to be glass.

I've added an ornate sterling silver bead, a smooth green wire-wrapped chalcedony nugget and two prehnite ovals. These are all embellished with rose-coloured freshwater pearls. The wire is sterling silver.

There is no clasp on the silver-tone chain (which is from another vintage necklace) as it is long enough to slip over your head.

Size

25" (64cm)

Featured beads

  • Chalcedony
  • Prehnite
  • Freshwater pearls
  • Sterling silver
