Pearl, Prasiolite, Sapphire, and Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl Rope Necklace

People have loved rope necklaces with tassels for centuries.  Early ropes displayed royal insignia and pearls to signal the importance of a celebration.  Coco Chanel and the flappers modernized the look and relaxed the style.  

This Beautiful Cat's Eyes rope relies on a gem worthy of permanent collections.  The name references the gem, cat's eye chrysoberyl used in this fringe.  Jewelry designers cherish gems exhibiting tiny parallel inclusions that intensely reflect light in a way that resembles a cat’s eye.  Just as each cat is original, so too is each cat's eye gem.  Beautiful Cat's Eyes ends with 13 strands of cat's eye chrysoberyl hand tied in the tassel.

The gems in Beautiful Cats Eyes softly pop primary colors (navy or denim, black, dark gray, green) and also create a lush, soothing pallet against soft pastels (white with a blue sheen, light peach, green or blue).  I don't discourage shopping, but before buying new clothes for any necklace, walk through your closet and lay "Beautiful Cats Eyes" against your existing wardrobe.  I'm betting you will see your wardrobe come alive.
