Necklace

Turquoise and coral are a favorite combination of mine. The colors just seem to belong together. I use only the best gemstones. These turquoise beads are a very clear blue flat oval bead with very little matrix. The turquoise beads are smooth lay comfortably against your skin—you will love to wear it and find yourself putting it on day after day. Between each oval you have a 5 mm faceted red coral bead and two 5 mm round turquoise beads. The necklace measures 17.5 inches including the silver toggle finding. Please notice the finish work on my pieces; crimps are covered with sterling crimp covers that look like small round silver beads. I use strong, flexible, and kink resistant, 49 strand stainless steel beading wire that is wrapped in clear plastic. This beading wire is flexible and resists kinking unless severely bent. It can be knotted and crimped, yet is twice as strong as regular tigertail. Matching earrings are available. Purchase individually or in a set.

Earrings

These earrings coordinate with the necklace. One flat oval turquoise bead, one faceted red coral bead and one round turquoise dangle from a French wire earring in sterling. Buy individually or with the necklace. These light weight earrings appear substantial, but are virtually weightless.
