Aquamarine, Hill Tribe Silver buying Necklace/Earrings

Imagine water flowing gently with the sunlight glittering off of it. This aquamarine necklace reflects that image with the many shades of aqua colored stones and silver.

I used buying round, faceted, 5 mm stones for the body of the necklace. The center is made with 7 mm, round, smooth stones with the very center bead flanked by two Hill Tribe silver beads with small protrusions on them. These protrusions add texture. Each four stone section is separated with two Hill Tribe silver beads. The two ends of the necklace are finished with a cluster of Hill Tribe silver beads.

The necklace is 21 inches in length and closes with a sterling silver fish hook clasp.

The earrings are made with two 5 mm, faceted stones, enhanced with Hill Tribe silver beads and hung on sterling silver posts. The earrings dangle around 1 inch.
