Uniquely different necklaces that combine some of our oldest, shaped and cut citrine beads with mat Indian jasper and boulder peridots. We've highlighted the beauty of these necklaces by using handmade tiny sterling silver Indian beads between each stone. All finished with sterling silver hook fastenings.
These citrine beads were sourced by collector Bernard Heaphy back on one of his very first trips to India in the 1980's. Certainly they are very special, as we have never seen the like again for purchase. Their unique spiral cut decoration gives them the look and feel of liquid golden honey, invoking the feel of bees and bee hives and a very earthy, natural quality.
This is only the second time in 40 years that I have used these beads in my jewellery making. I have only a very short run of beads to work with, making these necklaces truly unique and very special.
