Super Simple Everyday Necklace

This super simple necklace is the most recent example of one of my go-to patterns for large, lovely stones: stone rounds alternate with antique silver spacers and 8mm Indian sapphire crystals to the desired length. Add a double jump ring chain to the end so the length is adjustable. 

It's a versatile style that dresses up a v-neck or collared shirt and you can use contrasting crystals to punch up the color, if  you want to. This basic pattern works well with your favorite nuggets, rounds or coins. These painted jasper beads are going to look great with jeans, which is good because I'm finally breaking out the denim after this hot, hot summer!

Very pretty- the focus is on the amazing patterns in the stones rather than the design of the necklace.

I love the silver with the beads you used.

Not only will it go great with jeans, I think it would look nice with most earth tones.

LOVE IT!
