New Amazonite Necklace

This necklace features a style I've done several times over the past two years.  I start with a good sized briolette.  I secure the top with sterling silver wire and begin stacking gems and pearls on top.  It's a fun design to execute.

This particular piece starts with an amazonite briolette.  I topped it with white keshi pearls,turquoise rounds, apatite rounds and Peruvian opal rondelles.  I like this style best when hanging from sterling snake chain. Labels: amazonite, apatite, aqua blue, handcrafted, handmade, jewelry, keshi pearls, necklace, peruvian opal, turquoise 
It looks like a Montana summer sky....

The goat is right about the Montany sky, however, when I first saw this my thoughts were the Pacific waters.
You really captured it all Vicki
