If you want to keep up with fashion this year-round beaded collar with adjustable 14k gf chain drop is just the ticket! The majority of this collar is made from AAA+ TOURMALINE in many of the various colors TOURMALINE comes in. I used faceted rondelles and clear 3mm and 4mm round Tourmaline . . .and coordinating seed beads to tie it all together. Still feeling it was missing something- I individually sewed a Swarovsky, turquoise opalescent, bi-cone crystal drop in the middle of each "station". Each one of these was then matched with a Tourmaline rondelle to complete the drop. The weave is a take on a square stitch .
