Fuchsia Crazy Lace Agate Cleopatra Necklace

Crazy lace agate from Chihuahua, Mexico does not repeat its patterning. Every slab along the top strand carries a different arrangement of swirling cream, rose, and banded structure, the result of silica-rich fluid moving through rock over millions of years. The fuchsia is dyed. The swirl is not.

The lower strand loops in purple and teal seed beads, the two colors running together rather than taking turns. Teal glass drops hang from the loops at intervals. At center, a larger teal glass piece falls as the Y-drop, the structural anchor the whole collar builds toward.

The fuchsia-purple-teal combination is loud on purpose. This is the piece you reach for when a plain neckline needs to do something, and "something subtle" is not what you had in mind.

Wear it with a white linen sheath, a deep teal silk blouse, or a faded denim shirt. For gallery openings, dinner reservations, or any night you would rather not be background.

Built on the Cleopatra form: two-strand construction, collar fit, sits high on the chest where every neckline frames it.
