This Little Heart of Mine, Dainty Rhodochrosite Necklace with Stainless Steel and Crystal Heart

Necklace #12

Length: 16.5”

Dainty and smooth 3mm Rhodochrosite surround the sweetest of hearts made of stainless steel with a crystal center. I have accented the soft pink with aquamarine and peridot, freshwater pearls and teeny stainless steel spacers. This sweet necklace is finished with a stainless steel lobster clasp.

How about a creamy white “V” neck sweater in late fall or your favorite sundress in the summer to wear with this little heart necklace? The vision is real and the look will be so perfect.

Rhodochrosite has a mohs mineral hardness of 3.5 – 4.5 and is best worn in earrings and necklaces because of its delicate nature. Care should be taken when storing them in your jewelry box.

Rhodochrosite is found in many places around the world. These are from Argentina and most likely found at the Capillitas and Catamarca deposits where formations are found in sedimentary and metamorphic rock cavities formed in layers giving it concentric pink banding.
