This Heart of Mine Adjustable Necklace with Gemstones & Wood

Description

They say wild hearts can’t be broken, and this stunning blue howlite heart necklace is about as wild as they get. Crafted with a variety of gemstone, wood, and metal beads; an adjustable leather cord makes it the perfect fit.

A stunning, oversized, turquoise-dyed howlite heart is the centerpiece of this necklace. The strand continues with mookaite rondelles, faceted and barrel-shaped amazonite, faceted howlite rondelles, and an assortment of natural and hand-painted wood beads. Antique copper finished spacers provide accents. The necklace is strung on a 2mm natural leather cord, which is fully adjustable from approximately 28″ to choker length.

Howlite is a beautiful, under-appreciated gemstone that’s wonderful for making beads of every shape. It readily accepts dyes, and is often used to simulate turquoise. Mookaite is an Australian stone whose colors range from a deep yellow gold to a rich, purplish red, with many colors in between. Amazonite is a gemstone best known for its lovely shades of rich light blue, thought it may also appear as a very pale blue, gray or even tan.

Just as no two stones will ever be identical, each of these necklaces is one of a kind.
