All abqjewels necklaces and bracelets are made using rare earth magnetic clasps, so they are super-easy to put on and take off, and very secure. All jewelry has an ANTI-TARNISH ANTI-WEAR COATING on every plated metal component. The coating allows the gold, silver, or other metal plating to retain its attractiveness through many wearings.

All Special Occasion necklaces and bracelets have a magnetic clasp, a lobster clasp, and an extension chain. The lobster clasp is used to set the necklace length, from 16" to 20". The magnetic clasp is used for easy-on easy-off.

Longer extension chains are available upon request.

Made exclusively with Swarovski crystals. All plated metal has an anti-tarnish, anti-wear coating.

AQUAMARINE VITRAIL LIGHT

The pear pendant on the necklace is Aquamarine Vitrail Light, 18x13mm. I call this one my Signature Necklace. While I love many of the Swarovski pendants, this one is my personal favorite. Depending on the angle of view, there are different shades of blue-green, purple, and a little bit of green.

I'm an amateur at photography, so I prefer the closeup taken by my friend Fred, who is no amateur!

This set was designed for Eileen, wife of my photographer friend Fred. It is made with Swarovski Antique Pink de-Art pendants. De-Art is a beautiful assymetrical shape to appeal to those who are somewhat nonconformist or whimsical. Antique Pink is very close to a light shade of amethyst. The necklace and bracelet are made with a plethora of different color Swarovski beads, including tanzanite, rose satin, light rose satin, lilac, and lilac shadow.. You can wear the set with many shades of pink or purple.

Vitrail Medium and Green Sphinx

The color of the two sets of jewelry below is either Crystal Vitrail Medium or Crystal Green Sphinx. Depending on the cut of the crystals, the colors may appear the same or somewhat different. Both Vitrail Medium and Green Sphinx exhibit a rainbow of colors as the crystals move. To my eyes, both have a pretty large green component and a smaller red component, then every other color flashes by with movement. The red tone in Vitrail Medium is close to fuchsia, the green somewhat olive. For Green Sphinx, the red is a true red, the green is a little bluer than for Vitrail Medium. However, the actual colors vary with the cut of the stone and the angle of view.

PROVENCE LAVENDER AND TANZANITE

These are very similar colors, but Tanzanite is more intense than Provence Lavender. I like to design with both colors together, as the jewelry will match more clothing.

Most of the items listed under either Provence Lavender or Tanzanite can be made using the other color, unless I don't have that identical size/cut in the other color.

Send me an email at abqjewels@gmail.com if you want a color variation.

VITRAIL LIGHT

Vitrail Light Oval necklace

The full picture and close up of the necklace show how the colors you see in this 18mm oval pendant vary depending on whether you are viewing straight on, or at an angle. As the picture of the matching 12mm oval earrings shows, there is some variation in the color from pendant to pendant, even though both the crystal and the coating (which produces the colors) are made by Swarovski.

If you want earrings with more color, consider the navette(diamond) earrings.
