(Components list at bottom of page)

How appropriate is it that Copper and Turquoise should look so fabulous together, as Turquoise owes it's colour in large part to copper being part of the make-up of the stone.

I have been itching to use this high-quality, genuine turquoise since it came in - designing all sorts of elaborate creations - but finally came up with this very simple and striking design. Sometimes, it pays to keep it simple.

The dangle in front of the leaf is 3 jumprings hanging as a short piece of chain off the twisted loop. Each one has 2 dangles of turquoise on a headpin with a wrapped loop. There are two more on each side of the short chain segment. This makes a nice cluster of Turquoise "berries." A large jumpring through the hole of the leaf makes the loop for hanging - and the twisted jumpring is also through this jumpring (and supports the short piece of chain.) Necklace length is 17 inches.
