On a computer, hover a piece to see it whole. On a phone, the close look is the cover and the full piece is one tap away. The first two covers are close up photos Brittany already took; the last two are her full size photos simply zoomed into the stones, so no new photo shoot was needed for either.
3. What you are getting
Real stones, chosen by hand
Every stone is chosen by hand at gem shows and from cutters I trust, and anything that isn't natural is noted on the listing.
Solid 14k gold, never plated
The clasp, the hand coiled french wire and the engraved signature tag are all solid gold.
Knotted by hand on silk
A knot between every bead gives a soft drape and keeps each stone safe for a lifetime of wear.
One of one, made to fit
No two strands are alike, most sit around 18 inches, and I'm happy to make yours to a custom length.
4. A photo you can look into
Look closer
Sleeping Beauty Turquoise
On a computer, move across the photo and a loupe shows the stones up close, the matrix, the polish, the way the color sits in each bead, the same way you'd look at a strand over the bench.
On a phone, tap the photo and it opens full screen at full size, so you can drag around the strand and get right into the stones.
Right now the product pages show small photos with zoom switched off, so this alone would let every listing show the stones far better, using the photos already there.
