Orange Grove Necklace
by Elaina at Lima on 08/06/20
About this design:
I think Fancy Jasper with an AB finish might be my new favorite gemstone! I knew I wanted to use them in a design when I first saw them- I think they look great with the Green Kyanite, Orange Opalite, & the gold accents. I got a bit carried away & made this layered necklace, but I think each strand would look great on their own as well!

Little Round Chick says:WOW! What a striking color combination! The soft green of the kyanite with the orange tone opalite and AB fancy jasper are a perfect Autumn combination. The gold mixed in with these colors makes a fantastic design.

dolllady aka Pam says:Beautiful to infinity and beyond! I love the idea of 3 necklaces that can be worn separately or combined with any 2 or all 3 at once. That is called cost effective at the very least.
