"Tropic Vibrance"
"Surrounded by blue-green waters and protected by coral reefs, the volcanic islands of Hawaii support jungles of vivid greenery and unexpected bursts of color. In a likewise fashion, this unique necklace reflects the beauty of the Hawaiian islands. Blue-green turquoise, red coral, and the black sheen of volcanic glass support and enhance lime green turquoise and deep purple magnesite nuggets."

This light-weight, single-strand necklace has just enough weight for a beautiful drape without being cumbersome. The necklace is x inches long; the center stone hangs just below the collar bone. Stones are strung on strong,
flexible beading wire which will not kink with normal wear. A toggle clasp the color of antiqued copper fastens the necklace at the back.

The dying of materials ensures relatively uniform colors. Stabilization hardens softer stones that would otherwise be unfit for jewelry making, and it can also help preserve color in stones such as turquoise, which might otherwise change color over time.
