I am so excited about this multistrand design, I can't wait to use it in several -each unique - variations. Clasp the graceful sterling silver toggle behind your neck, and you have a lovely necklace with four different strands. The longest is a cool chain of alternating twisted and smooth oval rings from which beautiful tiny sterling leaves dangle all the way around the neck. Next is a strand of Rose Quartz beads and puffed sterling oak leaves from which a beautiful Brazilian Morganite teardrop shaped stone set in a sterling leaf motif setting hangs. Then there is a strand of one of Swarovski's newest color bicone crystal, rose water opal. They are translucent beauties separated by vintage old rose faceted crystal rondelles. Last, the shortest strand is an interesting chain of alternating long and oval links. This last strand is where genius lies.
Unclasp the toggle and put the short chain over your head and you have a 40" three strand necklace. The leaf toggle becomes a charm on either side of the necklace where the three strands join (which is just below the clavicle).The three remaining strands drape progressively to the solar plexus (depending on how long your torso is).
Rose Quartz is one of the most powerful crystals for the heart chakra, meaning it will help open the heart to unconditional love. If you want to attract love, look no further than the romantic Rose Quartz - especially by wearing it in this piece. Morganite is also a heart chakra stimulator; it is believed to help maintain love as it continues to grow. All of the stones in this piece are natural and not dyed.

Longest strand is 24" . The Rose Quartz strand is 19" plus the 1 1/2" pendant. The crystal strand is 17 1/2". The plain chain is 16". Add 1" to each length to account for the clasp.
There are virtually no limits on how or when to wear this piece. It looks great on all colors - darks, brights, pastels - and with jeans as well as dresses and suits. Wear it shorter with plain necklines, especially if your blouse is short or worn tucked in. Wear the necklace the long way with any neckline and longer (hip length) tops or jackets.
