Chili expédition citron vert : collier en verre craquelé quartz cerise, vert

This ~25" necklace is much chunkier than my usual stuff, with elongated melon beads and clustered large chips of cherry quartz in a cheerful chili-tomato light red, accented with pale green rounds of Czech crackle glass. The opaque purple-AB seed-bead spacers are also Czech glass.

For that matter, "cherry quartz" is also a type of glass, like "goldstone"; both ofthem are synthetic materials with colorful opaque inclusions (copper crystals for goldstone; I dont know what are the teeny reddish particulates in cherry quartz) that suffuse the otherwise colorless/transparent glass matrix with their colors.

Ive hand-strung all of these components onto 20lb-test gel-spun polymer, a high-tech fiber thats stronger than steel wire; the endcaps and toggle clasp are sterling silver.

Please check my other listings for more pretties, and thanks for expédition looking! :)
