This one-of-a-kind necklace features one glass
Blackberry and six glass Blueberries in varying states of ripeness. The glass
beads are set off by faceted droplet beads in natural Blue Topaz, olivine
Cubic Zirconia and lemon yellow Cubic Zirconia, and light lemon micro-faceted
Cubic Zirconia rondelles.
For strength the necklace is constructed on 49-strand beading wire,
double-crimped and finished with 14-karat gold findings. Total length is
about 15 inches.
To clean the necklace, wet your hands and lather them with some liquid
hand soap. Use your fingers to distribute the soap all over the berries and
gems in the necklace, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry on a clean terrycloth
towel.
Currently available in the show “It's All About Beads” at
the Pismo Fine Art Glass in Denver, Colorado.
