Can't decide if you like long or short? Have both options with this style hero necklace that converts form long pendant to choker/lariat style.

  • Irregular star cut African jade beads and matte picture jasper beads strung on hand knotted tan nylon cord
  • Odd factoid: African jade is actually is a variety of glossularite garnet. The beautiful green has inclusions of orange, red, dark yellow or gold colors as well
  • Picture Jasper has unique banding and flow patterns that are reminiscent of southwest landscapes
  • 24k gold plated beads and chain tassel
  • Length: 34" [86 cm] plus 5" drop for tassel [12.5 cm]
  • Handmade in the USA

Color! The green of this African jade was to DIE for. I had to have it but had no idea what it was going to become. Matte picture jasper brought out the honeyed amber tones in the jade, but it still needed some shine, and some edge. Silk tassels may be beloved by many, but for those of us apt to "accidentally" dunk our long necklaces in our coffee, metal is better.

Styling Tips

There are two equally great ways to wear this style hero: Worn full, it creates a look of elongation, perfect over tunics, sweaters, or as the longest piece in a layered necklace look.  

The other option is to wear it short, pulling the tassel end through for a style that is part choker, part lariat, 100% cool and versatile. We especially like the way this looks with a V-neck or open collared shirt. Gravity keeps the tassel threaded through, but take care not to shimmy 'n shake it off if you're getting your dance groove on.
The Do's

Handmade and hand knotted jewelry pieces are durable, but NOT indestructible. Be good to your jewelry and follow these tips to keep your items looking like new as long as possible:

  • Make jewelry the last thing to go on, after sunscreens, lotions and perfumes have been applied AND dried.
  • DO wear your jewelry with abandon, expressing your unique style, but remove it at the end of the day.
  • Clean stones and metal accents by gently wiping with a slightly damp, soft, non-abrasive cloth or chamois.
  • Store jewelry in a dark, cool, and dry space.
  • Gemstones are delicate and can chip or shatter on impact with hard surfaces. Please take care when handling and storing.
The Don'ts
  • Don't wear jewelry in the shower, while swimming in the pool or ocean, sunbathing, or while working up a serious sweat. Exposure to water, salt, and chemicals will tarnish, discolor, or wear away fine metal plating and may discolor and weaken beading cord.
  • Sunscreen, lotions, perfumes, and hairspray may be good on you, but are bad on your jewelry. Avoid direct contact with fine metal plating and gemstone beads as they can become stained or discolored.
  • Don't use metal cleaners, dips, or polishing agents as these will damage fine metal plating.
  • Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause some natural gemstones to lose their color and fade, so avoid storing jewelry in direct sunlight.
