African Opal Necklace, Red Garnet Gemstone Sterling Handmade Jewelry
Item Description
Earthy white African opal combined with glowing red garnet creates a beautiful handmade necklace you will want to wear time and time again. Due to its neutral color, the gemstone necklace can be worn dress up or dress down and is named SIMPLE PLEASURES. The seven eye catching white African opal gemstones at the front of the necklace have a background of creamy beige. Swirling veins of brick red, green, darker brown and black run through the polished beads, each one different from the other. A few have translucent areas and one even has small druzy inclusions. The shape of the African opal is a four sided oval, the sides catching and reflecting the light as the necklace is worn. Like all opals, white African opal is a form of hydrated amorphous silica; however it does not exhibit the play of color seen in precious opal. The unique gemstones are capped on each side with sterling silver daisy spacers.
Between each white African opal oval are round rich red garnet rounds and small sterling silver beads. To add amazing texture to the necklace design, red garnet pebbles finish the back of the necklace, each grouping separated by a small sterling beads. A lovely sterling silver hook clasp set finishes the necklace perfectly. Carefully designed by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SIMPLE PLEASURES handmade necklace was created for the woman who loves unique artisan jewelry.
