……………………………………..I think by now you all know I’m a Leo, not that I pay much attention to astrological predictions, but I am a SUN person, and GOLD is my color……….I love GOLD with bright colors, and TURQUOISE and GOLD is a fantastic combination…….The necklace is approximately 49 inches long with a 3 inch extension. It has a Lobster Claw closing. There are 12 strands of seed beads that emanate from gold metal caps. As you can see from the photos at the left, where the necklace is shown at its’ full length, the necklace is divide in stripes of color. Each section of either turquoise or gold seed beads are separated with GOLD OBLONG beads……..The gold seed beads and the Gold Oblong beads are slightly different in color which gives the necklace distintion. Most seed bead necklaces are simple strands of one color or mixed colors. These are easily and quickly done, because they come premade. A manufacturer orders the colors they want and they are quickly made. What separates this necklace is the fact that with every section of color EACH BEAD has to be COUNTED, and strung so that each section is equal. This takes TIME and PATIENCE! Time is money, and this is an expensive necklace to make as opposed to necklaces where each strand is one color or even mixed colors that can come, as I said, pre-made. My necklace is made to order, and are not avail in the market place…….so you are getting something special………This is another COLLECTORS piece to add to your Linea Jewelry wardrobe………There are also different size seed beads avail., and I chose the size I felt worked best with the oblong bead……..They aren’t teeny tiny, nor are they over sized…………………..There are many ways to wear this necklace. You can double it, and play with the two lengths…..or wear it long. I happen to love the look of two worn together, as shown in the center photo……It’s a powerful look, and I love it……….What do you wear this Turquoise necklace with and when? First, anytime you want. Please don’t save these for “special occasions”! Jewelry is meant to be worn. This can be worn with a simple tee, a sweater, a dress, or a blouse or shirt. It can be worn with PRINTS too. If you recall I have shown this necklace with the POPPY FLORAL PRINT shirt………..MIX COLORS…………Have fun pulling out all of your solid and print pieces and play mixing the turquoise with EVERYTHING! Yellow, red, aqua, navy, black, alabaster, tan, ivory, purples, fuchsia, magenta, olive, lime, orange, brown…..on and on and on. It really can look fabulous with so many things. The only limitations are what you put on it……………………Ladies, remember this is a fine necklace and needs to be treated kindly. If you find it gets tangled when you store it….just undo the lobster claw and let it hang naturally…..it will untangle itself…….no tugging! As always my company stands behind ever piece it ships and repairs anything within reason……………..I know you will be just as pleased to receive this as those lucky few who received it last year…………………….enjoy……………………………much Love………………………………….Louis
Turquoise and red makes me feel so happy. It really does look good with the poppy floral print shirt. However, I had never considered the turquoise and olive combo as you showed with the Kate shirt. Might be a new favorite color combo of mine.
Caroline, the best advise I could give you is to be FEARLESS….Never be afraid to experiment with mixing colors. You can play a game with yourself and see how many things you can mix with the turquoise…..you will surprise yourself!
Raising my hand for this one, too.
Me too. I had to decide between the green and the blue last year. Nothing will stop me for the blue!
The Turquoise is the one I will be looking for this time.
