I liked the green garnet necklace so well that I just had to use the design for more than one necklace. I had some lovely citrine beads in that same pleasing flat oval shape, so modified the necklace slightly by using 14 karat gold-filled wire instead of the sterling silver.
Since I didn’t have any gold-plated beading wire, I used liquid gold and little 2mm gold-filled beads for the length of the necklace. It’s a tiny bit heavier than the green garnet necklace, and a little bit less delicate. For me, that’s a good thing — I’m not the most careful person when it comes to wearing necklaces. I tend to either play with it while I’m wearing it, or forget I have it on and end up doing damage when I pull my shirt over my head – with the necklace clasped on top of the shirt!
Citrine enhances self-esteem and clarity in communications. It encourages generosity, prosperity, happiness, and success.

Thanks, Judy & Margaret. “Liquid gold” is a common name for very thin, short tubes of gold (or silver, for liquid silver). It’s called that because if you have several strands of it on fine threads, it moves rather like a liquid, despite its solid nature.
I love it, Peg! What is liquid gold??
Beautiful!!!!
