Indian Silver Necklace

Picture a long string of nuggets in blush, aqua, amber and slate swings down from the neck.

This necklace of mixed stones and silver is from India, and is contemporary. It is onyx, carnelian, agate, rose quartz, aquamarine, benitoite, moonstone & silver. Rose quartz, aquamarine and moonstone are usually cut as smooth or faceted beads, and the variety of their pale tones gives a mixed strand its character. Faceted oval beads in a spread of pastel and earthy colors, with one bead of smoky, shiny grey toward the left. A bright blue stone and a yellow stone sit at the bottom curve of the strand. It is 20 inches long.

A rainbow cut into slices and kept in a row.
