African Opal and Red Garnet Gemstone Necklace, Earthy Handmade Jewelry

The "Simple Pleasures" handmade necklace features earthy African opal ovals and two shapes of red garnet.

Earthy African opal combined with glowing red garnet creates a beautiful handmade necklace you will want to wear time and time again. Due to its neutral color, the gemstone necklace can be worn dress up or dress down and is named SIMPLE PLEASURES. The seven eye catching African opal gemstones at the front of the necklace have a background of creamy beige. Swirling veins of brick red, green, darker brown and black run through the polished beads, each one different from the other. A few have translucent areas and one even has small druzy inclusions. The shape of the African opal is a four sided oval, the sides catching and reflecting the light as the necklace is worn. The gemstones are capped on each side with sterling silver daisy spacers.

Seven beautiful African opals, separated by red garnet rounds, make up the front of the necklace - each one is unique in its coloration.

Between each African opal oval are round rich red garnet rounds and small sterling silver beads. To add amazing texture to the necklace design, red garnet pebbles finish the back of the necklace, each grouping separated by a small sterling beads. A lovely sterling silver hook clasp set finishes the necklace perfectly. Carefully designed by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the SIMPLE PLEASURES handmade necklace was created for the woman who loves unique artisan jewelry.

Red garnet perfectly highlights the African opal ovals, round red garnet in the front and red garnet pebbles in the back.

*** Please note:  African opal is a trade name for this gemstone due to the translucency that can be found in some of the stones. It is not a real opal, but is probably a type of natural jasper.
