“Oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h!” That’s what you and everyone who sees you will be saying when you and they see this necklace. There is no way I could get a full length shot of this 48” beauty, so I did the best I could. Designed to be worn long if you want – double strands of carnelian, aragonite, smoky quartz (gobstoppers), yellow jade, agate and Czech glass beads in all shapes and sizes fall below two colossal 1 ¾” hefty carnelian links. Above the carnelian links you’ll find more smoky quartz, agate and jade.

It all comes together with a beautiful textured gold vermeil square toggle. The clasp makes it possible for you to wrap the necklace two or three times around your pretty little neck to get just the look you want for the day. The toggle is a work of art in itself and that means you can wear it to the side or down in front where it will get extra attention. Since this necklace is made of real gemstones, it does have some weight to it; not so much so that you’ll need to go to the chiropractor on your way home from the office, but you will know you have it on. I like that since it holds down clothing items up top and the weight of the piece pretty much assures you won’t be playing “lasso the boob” with the necklace. Did I just say that? Sure did.

This piece looks stunning layered with the carved leaf pendant or the jade key pendant shown below. It all makes me happy that fall is finally here. This is truly one-of-a-kind and can't be repeated exactly as is -- so hurry, hurry, hurry. Made in the USA of imported components. From the Tanya Lochridge Jewelry Trunk Show Collection.
