This first pair of very fashionable chalcedony briolette earrings are wire wrapped with oxidized silver wire. These pretty dangle earrings feature aqua blue chalcedony briolettes; the color is just gorgeous, and is perfectly contrasted by the darkened silver wire.

These dangles hang from hand forged shepherd's hook ear wires.

The chalcedony briolettes are faceted for sparkle. Chalcedony is a semi translucent stone; not transparent, but not opaque either. These seem to have an inner glow ... they could be yours for just $27.00!

This pretty necklace was made with Czech pressed glass beads in a beautiful long oval shape. The beads were etched by this artisan to give them a frosted finish ... they remind me of sea glass!

Hand wrapped with antique finish brass wire, attached to antiqued brass cable chain and finished with an antique finish brass lobster clasp, this very pretty and colorful necklace is a fabulous accent!

This 18" Frosted Spring Green, Aqua and Grape Antiqued Brass Necklace would be a really nice gift ... even for yourself! $26.00 ...

Most people think red when they picture garnet. Actually garnet is a very colorful family with orange, brown, red and even a couple of green varieties. This glittering garnet briolette necklace is made with hessionite garnet, in shades ranging from a dark toffee to a pale honey color.

The briolettes in this necklace were each securely wrapped with 14k gold filled wire; then attached to 14k gold filled cable chain, and finished with a 14k gold filled lobster clasp. This lovely, sparkling necklace is 19" in length; you could be wearing it for $230.00!

Here's a necklace that'll add some bright color to your look this summer! The Lime Green Chalcedony Rough Faceted Sterling Silver Necklace has a more organic, natural look that shows off the beauty of these gemstones very nicely.

Chalcedony is a solid color stone in the agate family that comes in many colors; black onyx, carnelian and chrysoprase are all types of chalcedony. This is a nice lime green color, and it'll go well with most casual summer wear. The necklace is made with sterling silver chain; order this pretty green gemstone necklace today for $26.00!
