This strand of unbelievably gorgeous beads showcases the unique beauty of the aquamarine gemstone. Thirty-seven graduated aquamarine beads are hand knotted on silk. So many different shapes, facet patterns, and textures are employed: barrel, rondel, octagonal, and cut-corner rectangle beads of varying sizes have a high polish or matte finish. The 18k yellow gold donut clasp has a delicate stipple finish. In a surreal effect, the clasp is "cracked" to display a cluster of 13 bead set diamonds. The back of the clasp is signed by the artist. A truly special estate piece, aquamarine is a stone that brings happiness, hope, and everlasting youth. Circa 2010.
