Lovely opaque lepidolite rectangles, a soft heather colour, have been cut and polished to a velvety finish. They co-ordinate perfectly with the more dramatic sparkle of the vintage amethyst pressed glass West German octagon beads. Both kinds of beads are double drilled. I've alternated them to make a strand that is about 17-1/2" long and 5/8" wide. The necklace closes with a charming sterling silver hook set.Great fall colours in a classic style are just what you'd expect from SPARKLE PLENTY.
