The Hot Pink Opal & Rose Quartz Beaded Candy Necklace is pure, happy color you can wear every day. Bright 6mm hot pink and white opal beads are hand-knotted on custom-dyed blush silk, with a natural rose quartz nugget at the center and a 14K gold-filled clasp.
It's handmade in our Key West studio and one of a kind. The strand pictured is the exact necklace you'll receive.
What Is a Candy Necklace?
Our candy necklaces are fine gemstone jewelry inspired by the colorful sugar-bead necklaces of childhood, reimagined with real stones, silk, and gold so they last a lifetime. They're playful in color and serious in craftsmanship.
Handmade With Fine-Jewelry Techniques
Hand-Knotted Silk
A small knot between every bead keeps the stones from rubbing together and gives the necklace a soft, fluid drape. If the strand ever breaks, the knots keep the beads from scattering.
14K Gold French Wire
Where the silk meets the clasp, we finish each end with hand-coiled 14K gold French wire. This tiny coil protects the silk from friction, a fine-jewelry detail that helps your necklace last.
