I bought the beautiful jade and aventurine stones on the same day, from one of my favorite people. Women are a minority in the world of gems, so I seek out women vendors whenever possible. I wasn’t sure how I would use the stones, but I was certain they belonged together in a design. All I was certain of was that I knew I wanted to make a green piece. Once at my design table, I took the square jade stones and round aventurine and combined them with faceted metals in hematite and brass. And the rest is herstory.

The intensity and beauty of the green! True green!

A perfect design—I love the jade in contrast to the paler aventurine. Classic Saskia!

How well the shades of green complimented each other.

The necklace is perfect for daily wear or a casual affair. I paired it with the Brook bracelet and Green Glass stud earrings and was pleasantly surprised how well the various shades of green complimented each other.

The color and the beauty of the stones

I got so many compliment: I wear it as a chocker or as a bracelet.
