N°700 The Elegant Chartreuse Universe Statement Necklace

Isn't this the most delicious combination? Over 30 different semiprecious stones in the Chartreuse - Turquoise- Aquamarine spectrum from all over the world have come together in this 3-strand necklace.  Peridot from India, Crazy Lace Agate from Mexico, Sea Glass beads from Malta, Tanzanian Turquoise, Glass beads from the Krobo people in Ghana, Lemon Jade from Canada, all making love to Aquamarine from India, Pearls from Shanghai, Agates from Brazil, silver pieces from Bali, and Istanbul and Glass droplets I brought back from Prague (did I forget anyone?). Feels like a happy journey around the world!

This necklace was inspired by an incredible experience of playing hide & seek with a very playful Octopus in our Bay (see image below).

I treasure any encounter with my marine creature but this little guy (girl?) was one of my best. For the best part of 1/2 hour we kept eye-balling each other - then hid around rocks only to both re-emerge. I am completely convinced this little octopus had as much fun as I did!
