Product Description
Redline marble with brecciated jasper, mahogany obsidian and copper bead caps are combined in this necklace. The length of this necklace is approximately 24 inches, or 609mm, a matinee length. The clasp is a hook and eye style, handmade from copper and hammered to give it a textured look.

The matinee length necklace is great for casual or business dressing and goes well with sweetheart, open collar, turtleneck, and cowl necklines.

Although not often thought of as a stone for jewelry, it is both durable and striking in appearance. Redline marble has red veining on a soft, cream colored background with touches of grey. The marble beads I used for this necklace are about three eights by one and one quarter inch, or 10 by 31mm, ovals that have been polished to a soft sheen.

I used two sizes of round mahogany obsidian beads. The large beads are just under one half inch, or 12mm, and embellished with copper, flower style bead caps. The smaller beads are not quite three sixteenth inch, or 4mm. Mahogany obsidian is a deep reddish brown with black inclusions and is a natural volcanic glass. Its distinctive coloring is a result of high iron concentrations.

The jasper oval beads are approximately three sixteenths by one third inch, or 4 by 8 mm, and are mostly a rich, reddish brown color with some areas of black. They are classified as brecciated jasper, which means they were formed as a result of a large number of different types of rock fragments cementing together. Brecciated jasper is also called the spotted stone, the Greek name for jasper.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
The colors in this single strand of natural redline marble, mahogany obsidian and brecciated jasper stones blend perfectly. The mahogany obsidian beads with their antiqued copper bead caps are set between copper spacers, dark topaz and copper colored glass beads, and the brecciated jasper. The necklace is finished to its matinee length with small, round mahogany obsidian, copper colored and dark topaz glass beads, and a copper clasp.

With its 6 marble 5 copper capped mahogany obsidian beads, this necklace weighs 2 ounces. For those sensitive to weight around the neck area, this may feel heavy when worn for a long period of time.
