Indian Silver Necklace

Graduated string of aqua nuggets glows against a black velvet bust.

This aquamarine and sterling silver necklace from India is from India, and is contemporary. Aquamarine is a blue to blue-green variety of beryl, the same mineral family as emerald, and its name comes from the Latin for seawater. Necklace of faceted, oval beads in pale sea-green with milky cream cloudy patches. The beads swell toward the center front and shrink toward the back. It sits on a black velvet display stand. It is 20 inches long.

Soft color with a surprisingly generous presence.
