Autumn Forest Tree Agate Cleopatra Necklace

Tree agate is a chalcedony with dendritic green patterning on a white ground. The inclusions are chlorite or hornblende, branching through the stone the way lichen spreads across rock. Each tablet cuts differently: some run mostly green, some mostly white, some split evenly. That variation is not a quality issue. It is the material.

The structure is two strands. A top strand of burgundy beads holds the diamond-orientation tree agate tablets across the neckline. Below, dark gren bead loops connect at mint green heart-shaped glass junctions, with pink iridescent Czech glass rounds at each pivot point. Metallic olive spike beads hang from the lower strand, catching light with a yellow-green iridescence. A long teal bugle bead stem drops at the center, ending in a chartreuse pressed glass leaf focal.

The palette is bronze, copper, olive, mint, and mauve. Autumn, but specific about it.

Pair with a chunky wool sweater, suede ankle boots, or a long brown corduroy skirt. For October walks, autumn farmer's markets, or weekend coffee in a window seat with the leaves doing their thing outside.
