| This necklace suggests deep
green forests with seductive waterfalls. The chrysoprase cabochon attracts
abundance. Chrysoprase was used by the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians in
jewelry and ornamentation. It was known as the “Victory Stone”. Alexander
the Great carried a chrysoprase stone in his girdle. One day a snake bit
off the stone and it dropped into a river. He never won another battle.
The chrysoprase cabochon , 2.25 in. long and 2 in wide,
is framed and supported by black beads and green seed beads. The tassels
are iridescent green and trimmed with Swarovsky crystals. The green of the
chrysoprase cabochon is further accented by the malachite chips separating
the silver and onyx beads. The 22.75 in. necklace. closes with a gold
filled push clasp. |
