There are times when I'm designing a necklace, that the components speak to me in thehir own quiet way, and tell me with which other stones they'd like to spend eternity. Such was the case with this druzy quartz pendant with the turquoise and garnet accent stones. In this case, the contrast between the earthy turquoise and the Wicked Queen sophistication of the blood red garnet is stunning and works quite to the advantage of the druzy quartz, really showing it off. Druzy quartz, glittery and mysterious, looks like crushed deep blue topaz quartz gemstones mixed with crushed rubies; I love using it with smooth-textured beads like these copper-veined turquoise beads from China. Completing the fabulous fall of turquoise and glitz is a sensuous rectangular cabachon garnet clasp, garnet roundel accent beads and a single creamy white pearl right below the silver bail of the pendant. The necklace is 21-3/4" long.
