Necklace

Big, faceted chunks of pale lemon stone catch the light like a string of ice cubes in lemonade.

This necklace is contemporary, a lemon drop faceted topaz necklace of 26 rough cut stones. Faceting even irregular stones multiplies the surfaces that catch light, so each nugget sparkles from several angles at once. The stones are pale yellow and clear, each one an uneven polygon, strung end to end on a fine cord. Their facets vary from broad planes to small triangles. The strand lies close and full around the neck. It is 16 inches long.

Sunshine, cut into manageable pieces.
