Mermaid's Treasure Aquamarine Necklace (SS70)
I see this necklace as a mermaid's jewel, washed up onto the shore. The aquamarines, in a watery almost clear colour, are 10mm long, knotted together with tiny, almost invisible knots.
There are Karen Hill Tribe silver* clamshell beads, (deliberately oxidised: I love the antiquey look this gives them, and the Karen Hill Tribe silver clasp in a rope design) and on the pendant is a tiny genuine ruby - our mermaid's most precious treasure.
The necklace is 18" (464mm) long.
*Karen Hill Tribe silver is 95%-99% pure silver, compared with sterling which is 92.5% pure silver.
