Victorian
About this design:
This focal piece is incredible! It is some kind of jasper, but looks like someone drew a line diagonaly on the pendant, and made half peachy and one greeny. I strung the necklace with large green pearls with fancy brass bead caps, brandy opal and lots of tiny tiny Swarovski crystals. It is one of my favorites! Alas, it went to a new home recently, and they are in love with it too!
Components:
jasper, freshwater pearls,brandy opal, Swarovski crystals, brass filigree beads and bead caps.Additional Images:

Stone Treasures says:WOW! What a stone! Great choice of Green pearls for color and texture. What length is the necklace and what are the measurement of the center stone?
