I have made quite a few of what I call "tunic length" necklaces but I believe this may be my favorite one so far. Green and pick peaceful yet bright and naturally comfortable.

The primary bead in this 43" tunic length necklace is a vintage two-color pressed glass bead. Olive green translucent glass has been swirled with opaque white then pressed in to a mold to make this smooth slender bead. The small round beads are vintage red and clear rounds another two-color bead which actually appears pink. The third bead is a Khaki color Swarovski crystal and it gracefully connects the other two beads in this unique combination. The ‘S’ clasp is made of tarnish resistant Argentium® Silver.
