Rhodochrosite and Sterling Silver Necklace and Pendant - Rhodochrosite is a beautiful gemstone featuring bands of pink, cream, and hues of brown. The 4mm round beads featured in this necklace are highly faceted, with the facets flashing a beautiful shine when worn. I have interspersed both shiny sterling silver and oxidized sterling silver beads throughout the design, with a 4" length of oxidized sterling silver chain on each side of the beads. The gemstone chain measures approximately 20 1/2" in length and fastens securely with a sterling silver lobster clasp.
The pendant features a stunning Rhodochrosite cabochon with gorgeous bands of deep reds and pinks. The setting is handcrafted from sterling silver, and the bail is crafted from thick, hand twisted silver. The pendant measures 1 7/8" in length and is just under 7/8" in width.
The beautiful pendant is easily detachable by sliding the chain through the pendant, so the gemstone chain can be worn alone - without the pendant for a totally different look. Two necklace looks in one!
