This hand-made necklace suspends sapphires, peridots, tanzanites, garnets and tourmalines, set and linked in silver gilt. The carved gemstones are beautiful either from a distance or up close; their colors are vibrant and unadulterated. The carvings and the bezel-settings were expertly executed. Certainly, this necklace is long enough to fashion a bracelet (perhaps two) and a pair of earrings from; the three pieces could then be worn as a demi-parure. Just thinking out loud... Those colors though! Love it! Thanks for dropping by! ~ Amia
