Green Jasper Jewel Tone Burnished Collar Necklace

Jasper is a microcrystalline quartz, opaque, with its color and patterning coming from mineral inclusions. Sediment jasper takes its mottled look from the fine material that settled into the stone as it formed. The green bars on this piece are dyed. Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz, colored by iron impurities and natural irradiation. Quartz has been cut into beads and ornaments for thousands of years.

Green jasper across the collar, set against intricate beaded patterns in vivid jewel tones. This beaded collar necklace sits wide across the collarbone. The top is copper and the bottom is red, with topaz glass rectangles running between the two and holding them together. Dyed green jasper bars hang off the outer edge like fringe. At the center, a faceted amethyst rectangle anchors the design.

Worn with a cream linen dress, an oxblood silk blouse, or a charcoal wool turtleneck, this green jasper collar is the one that stops the room.
