I was inspired by the “longevity symbol” jade pendant bead and added accent silver chain links and purple crystal beads to drape from the pendant piece to create a contemporary feel. Then I used beading wire and threaded rectangular sunstone beads, marble, tumbled green aventurine stones and sterling silver accent bead caps to create this 18″ long necklace. The toggle clasp is sterling silver in a bali-accent design.
For the earrings I selected two similar sized tumbled aventurine stones and made them into drop earrings with silver accents.
