Chrysocolla Desert Dusk Necklace

Chrysocolla is a copper-bearing mineral with a blue-green color that ranges from teal to deep cerulean depending on the ratio of chrysocolla to azurite in the specimen. The patterning is geological, not uniform. Each stone reads differently.

Narrow rounded rectangle chrysocolla-azurite stones sit in a descending grid, framed by rich red seed bead lattice with teal accent beads woven through. Pale mint green glass dagger beads run along the base. A single red glass bead hangs at center on its own strand.

Pair it with a deep red silk blouse, a teal wool coat, or a black silk sheath.

For openings, theater nights, or any winter evening that wants saturated color.
