Magenta In Bloom

Description

The shade of this 24k gold encased Russian druzy reminds me is awesome. Magenta is a great fall color, but you can rock this necklace out with all of your favorite hues in any season really. Mix in an accent color for earrings or layer it with a three foot textured gold chain to have even more fun. Whichever way you chose, you’ll have a very fashionable look going on as druzies are all the rage right now. The reason they are in such high demand is that they are uncommon and fun. A number of factors contribute to the rarity of drusy quartz. When first found in the earth, natural geodes look like solid, round rocks. Most of these are truly solid, with only 5% or so being hollow with crystals forming on the inside. Only a fraction of these will have formed with the fine unblemished drusy crystals that create the unforgettable sparkle like this one does. The 24k gold overlay chain on this is luxurious and acts as a nice accent to the druzy. The necklace measures 18.75 inches in length and can be altered upon request. The Druzy itself measures just under 1.75 inches in width by 1.25 inches long.

More about the gold: Gold overlay is one of the greatest inventions since peanut butter and jelly. It is the closest thing one can get to 14k gold without the cost. Everyone likes that! It is a very thick layer of gold (10 times the amount of gold fill so it should also be hypoallergenic) that has been electro-deposited over high quality brass. You can wear it the same as you would 14k gold. You can even wear it in the ocean.
