Lavender and Grassy Shades Beaded Rope Necklace

I was away from my studio for several weeks and couldn't bring the usual arsenal of tools with me. So I brought scads of gemstone beads , silver wire and my small hand tools. This necklace is one of the results... Large faceted nuggets of lavender quartz combine with stones of a variety of cuts--faceted tanzanite rondelles and drops, smooth emerald rondelles, prehnite and aquamarine flattened pebbles, blue peruvian opal semi-rounds, pink amethyst briolettes and a couple of green tourmaline brios as well. This necklace adjusts from 16 to 18 inches with a hook clasp and extender chain.
