Rutilated Quartz + 14k Gold Drop Necklace

The prototypical needle in a (gemstone) haystack. Often referred to as the stone of "beauty and positivity", each nugget of Rutilated Quartz is as one of a kind as they come. While many gems are most valuable when devoid of inclusions, this particular geological beauty stands out for the exact opposite reason: It is prized precisely because of its ultra-dramatic needle-like "rutile". Bezel set in 14k gold with matching gold bead and clasp, this extraordinary gemstone is a stylish, versatile addition to any jewelry collection... and also makes a lovely gift. Length: 17". Faceted Rutilated Quartz gemstone Size: 16mm (0.6") x 12mm (0.5") 14k gold bezel, bead, hoop + lobster clasp 17" cappuccino cord Note: closeup images for detail; please review sizing Made in Santa Monica, California Handcrafted in her Southern California studio, designer Margaret Solow’s effortlessly elegant line of fine jewelry showcases the intrinsic beauty of each specially handpicked element she chooses.
