I have always loved the autumn season. There’s just something about the falling leaves that makes me feel so happy. That’s why when I saw an autumn leaves necklace on an online jewelry store – I knew I had to have it.
My birthday was coming and I hoped that my boyfriend would buy me the necklace as a gift. I knew exactly the outfit I would wear with it – a ruffled pink blouse and a pair of dark denim jeans. I can’t wait until my birthday finally comes so that I can open my gift.
Make a bold statement so you can be noticed and complimented about your fashion sense. An eye-catching aventurine necklace may just be what you need. This necklace is 26.5” long with a heavy gold tone circle toggle clasp. It is appointed with gold tone corrugated beads to accent the colors interwoven in the light green stones.
Aventurine glass, also called monkstone, is visually stunning. Sometimes, it is confused with minerals like feldspar or quartz which also have tiny flecks of glittering materials that add shine and sparkle. Aventurine glass was invented in the mid 17th century by an Italian family of glassmakers named Miotti.
Jasper is an opaque and impure variety of silica. It is usually red, yellow or brown in color. This mineral breaks with a smooth surface and is usually used as an ornament or as a gemstone. When highly polished, jasper can be used in vases and seals.
Patterns in jasper are made during the consolidation process of silica rich sediment or volcanic ash. Get noticed by wearing jewelry like a jasper bracelet. The stones are a bit daring in color but will not take over any outfit. Instead, it will be a nice complement to whatever you decide to wear.
