Tourmaline combines my favorite gemstone elements -- intense color and transparency. These beauties were tossed in a drawer probably 30 years ago and forgotten, only to be retrieved by the daughter of their original owner who really didn't know what she had. She sold ten strands of tourmaline to my favorite bead dealers and I bought two of them -- vivid greens and these incredibly variagated pinks.
When I strung them, I looked for gold that had a pinkish tinge and these intense 18k gold beads were just the right touch. The necklace i nearly a choker, sitting comfortably on the neck right about the clavicle. Price: $1350.00.
