Brass,topaz,aquamarine,apatite and kyanite necklace

This handcut brass necklace has apatite, topaz , aquamarine and kyanite beads, lots of lovely shades of blue. It also  has a gold plated chain and gold plated beads. It is from a collection I did a few years ago, I didn’t name them then but do now, it makes life easier when do price list, pics and loading onto my website. It  is also fun to thinking  up names for each collection although it can be quite hard, it has to sound right and not to silly.
