Distinctive black tourmalinated quartz is an intriguing gemstone with it’s translucent or opaque grayish white coloring with black tourmaline inclusions. I have named this piece “Storm Clouds” as the gray and black shades remind me of supercell storms hovering on the horizon. The tourmaline quartz gemstone beads contain both beauty and drama which will spark interest wherever you go. The tourmalinated quartz gemstones graduate in size. Each stone is unique containing almost all black tourmaline or just a thread of tourmaline. Inbetween the stones I added Czech jet faceted crystals and Bali silver metal spacers. Around the focal bead I added lovely leaf pewter bead caps.

This necklace is 20 inches in length and is finished off with Via Murano moonlight crimps and sterling silver wire guards to protect the beading wire from wear. For the closure I selected a toggle from TierraCast called Anna’s toggle in a gunmetal shade to go along with the black tourmaline.

The necklace will come with a jewelry pouch for storage. BONUS: I will also include a pair of simple matching black tourmalinated quartz earrings.
