Smoky Quartz, Pearl, Marta Howell Pendant Necklace


The focal portion of this necklace is a Marta Howell Pendant. An exquisite design created from shells found in Hawaii surrounded by a thick Sterling silver setting, and stamped with Marta Howell .925. It measures 1 1/4 inches wide x 2 inches long. The coloring in the pendant does not show the depth and rich beauty of the shell, due to my lack of photographic expertise. There is a variety of browns, tans, & Ivory coloring with the look of abalone background. At the base of the pendant is a Smoky Quartz gemstone. The pendant is attached to a Bali silver tube bail. Round 10mm Smoky Quartz gemstone beads and Pearls create the remainder of this necklace. The Pearls are dyed. The toggle clasp has a dangle consisting of a Bali shell bead, and a seahorse. This necklace is 17 inches long. Click on the title and it will take you to the item in my Ruby Lane Store.
