This is a necklace made of amazonite, alexandrite, lava stone, and cinnabar together with silver-colored metal findings. in the lamp light I use while working on my jewellry, the amazonite and alexandrite seemed to be much closer in color than they actually are, so I was a bit surprised when I had completed the necklace and looked at it in another light. Even though it was kind of a mistake, I still like the contrast between the light purple of the alexandrite together with the light green of the amazonite, which is why I have not remade the necklace.

The pendant is a rectangular cinnabar bead with a dragon on either side, and I combined the amazonite and alexandrite with round and oval lava stone beads interspersed with the metal findings. The lock is a simple silver-colored toggle clasp, and the necklace is made with bead string.
