The Gemmy Gem Candy Necklace is radiant, playful, and anything but ordinary. Six-millimeter pink topaz, pink opal, and freshwater pearls are hand-knotted on silk we custom dye a rich orange, then finished with an ethically sourced 14K gold-filled safety clasp.
At 18 inches, it's a one-of-a-kind candy necklace that pairs soft pink sparkle with a bold pop of color. It's part of our Gemmy Gem collection of candy-colored, see-through gemstone jewelry.
Pink Gemstones on Orange Silk
The magic is in the contrast. Sparkling pink topaz, glowing pink opal, and creamy pearls sit against bright orange silk that shows between every knot. It's a sunset palette, warm and unexpected, that turns a classic beaded gemstone necklace into something fun.
What Is Pink Opal?
Pink opal is a soft, milky pink stone with a gentle, matte glow. It balances the sparkle of the topaz and the luster of the pearls.
What Pink Topaz Represents
Pink topaz is associated with inspiration, clarity, and confidence, and it's a November birthstone.
Hand-Knotted by Hand, Bead by Bead
We hand-knot every bead on silk. The knots keep the strand flexible, protect the stones from rubbing, and leave space for light to move through each bead. If the strand ever breaks, the knots keep the beads from scattering.
