The focal bead is a softly sculpted  reptangle shaped pendant bead ranges from approximately 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches wide (wider at the bottom) and approximately 1-3/8 inches long.  This vibrant rich dark brown pendant bead has layered veins of of soft white, rust, avocado and brown Chrysoprase beads running lengthwise with shimmering highlights of copper-gold dichroic sparkle that give it movement and dimensionality.   The necklace measures approximately 17" in length.    The necklace strands are completely covered with an array of matched dichroic cane beads, a variety of Swarovski crystal beads, brown , glass pearls, Italian seed beads, and 22 kt Vermeil accents and spacers.  These beads were strung with 14 kt gold-filled flex wire, a professional flexible beading wire designed specifically for these necklaces for strength and durability.  A 14 kt gold-filled toggle clasp completes this piece to fit comfortably around your neck.  Perfectly matched 14 kt gold-filled post earrings (see picture) complete this extraordinary set.    The pictures were taken in daylight; however, they do not even come close to showing the vibrance and color of this art piece!  The Design Each of these one-of-a kind necklaces was designed by me to create a unique art piece that captures playful whimsy combined with sophisticated style. These dichroic and crystal necklaces are individually handcrafted using a combination of vibrant colors to create a unique, stylish, eye-catching piece versatile enough for either special occasions or causal wear. My necklaces all feature Swarovski crystals that complement and highlight the dichroic pendant. Combined with an array of other individually featured beads, the result is a necklace adorned by a medley of colors and shapes. The pictures are all taken in natural light, however they cannot do justice to the vibrance and depth seen when you look at this piece in person. If you have a question about the colors, please e-mail me and I will further describe the vibrant colors. Dichroic Glass Dichroics are multiple layers of jewel-like colored metallics and glass, covered by thick layers of transparent glass, hand-kilned, then polished to perfection. The result is a stunning, three-dimensional art piece that flirts with iridescence and sparkle. I love working with dichroic beads for a number of reasons. First and foremost, they are stunning and attract attention whenever they are worn. Second, I’m practical and want jewelry with versatility. These necklaces will enhance evening wear, complement professional attire or stylishly accessorize slacks and jeans!
