AJD 24 Inch Necklace of Polished Rhodonite and Rose Quartz Great Gift!!
Located in Tuxedo Park, NY
Pink and mauvy/raspberry together make this necklace pop. Rhodonite is such a lovely gemstone. It is basically various shades of pink with black manganese oxide dendrite. These gemstones are highly polished and are so complementary to the Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz is a variation of the quartz mineral which is clear when pure. As far back as 800 BC the Assyrians were crafting rose quartz into precious jewelry. The Greeks used it, as well as the Egyptians, and the Romans. All these civilizations believed in the elegant and rare Rose Quartz. It is linked to Aphrodite and Adonis. It was said to encourage the quality of unconditional love. It was used to remove negative thoughts and bring the wearer into positive love and balance. Now mined in many parts of the world, rose quartz varies from a delicate pale pink to stronger shades. Some rose quartz is transparent however most is translucent or cloudy which gives it its magical color. It is said to have many healing properties. Those with heart problems, including circulatory and heart attacks are encouraged to keep rose quartz close. Also, a healer of emotional heart aches, keep rose quartz near you to heal emotional wounds. Rose quartz is also said to strengthen the bonds between mother and her unborn child. Gold tone flutters accents both gemstones in this unique 24 inch necklace...

Diamond, Pearl and Antique Beaded Necklaces

From the fish-bone and seashell jewelry of the prehistoric era to the breathtaking amulets and pendants of ancient Egypt to modern sapphire beads, people have been accessorizing with beaded necklaces for eternity. Indeed, whether they’re chunky, statement-making necklaces or a single strand of the understated sort, this is versatile jewelry. The vintage beaded necklaces in your jewelry box likely go with everything, from casual summer tops and shorts to dazzling evening gowns.

Beaded necklaces — as well as other kinds of necklaces — were common in prehistoric times. Personal adornment was important, and jewelry was made for every part of the body. Beadwork is among the best known art forms attributed to Native Americans, and just as they had for saddlery and clothing, early populations would fashion beads for necklaces with stone tools or instruments made of wood. The making of colorful glass beads for beaded necklaces likely originated in Venice, Italy, during the 14th century, particularly given the growth of the decorative glass industry on the series of Venetian islands called Murano. During the Neolithic period, humans were buried with coral beaded necklaces from the Mediterranean, even as far north as the Alps.

Whether you’re seeking the pop of color you’ll get in a double-row jade beaded necklace from the Art Deco era — which encompasses the 1920s and ’30s and ushered in a very distinct look in jewelry design — or perhaps a simple strand of pearls for a blouse that leaves your neck bare, remember that different necklines call for different pieces of jewelry.

When accessorizing with a beaded necklace, a long piece with a pendant will likely pair best with your favorite vintage V-neck dress or V-neck tee, while beaded chokers and collar necklaces are a stylish fit for strapless tops. Bigger beads will hit your neckline in a different way than a more minimalist necklace might, so you’ll want to keep that in mind. Choose colors you like and pick items that will go with what is in your closet. When the occasion calls for it, don’t be afraid to stack. “More is more” for some, so pairing a delicate strand with a bolder piece might be the move for you.

On 1stDibs, find a collection of pearl beaded necklaces, antique emerald beaded necklaces, diamond beaded necklaces and more.
