This unusual and gorgeous hand beaded & knotted necklace set is made of large 18mm round Amethyst Drusy beads and is accented with Iris Amethyst faceted glass rondelles (10-14mm). The toggle clasp has a Satin Silver-plate finish loaded w/AB crystals on the ring portion. The drop earrings have the fish-hook style earrings. If you are thinking about wearing this out when you expect to do some enthusiastic dancing creating perspiration, DON'T as these matte stones will get stained. The interior exposed to show the Drusy interior looks like sugar. It is the actual Quartz properties showing. Remember the Amethyst IS in the Quartz family of stones. I've done some research and realized that you'll be getting a extremely good deal with this necklace set as the price is considerably lower in comparison to other Drusy pieces, let alone an entire necklace!
