About the necklace...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only best, premium grade and hard to find gemstones were used in creating this exquisite necklace. The focal pendant is totally made from scratch (by me) using various gauges of gold filled wire. The frame was meticulously coiled with top quality Garnet rondelles and decorated with hand-woven vines. As a central part I selected outstanding gem-grade fancy concave laser cut Champagne Citrine faceted briolette and two flanking Ruby smooth teardrop briolettes. The chain partially have been hand-crafted using Garnet rondelles. The necklace fastens with a clasp and extension chain, which I've finished off with garnet rondelles.
All metal used is gold filled. The total length (including clasp and extension chain) is adjustable from 23 to 25 inches (59 to 64 cm). The total length of the pendant including bails is approximately just under 2.5 inches long (~ 62 mm). The Champagne Citrine briolette measure 20x10 mm and Ruby briolettes are 10x8 mm.
