It reminds me of something I'd see Liz Taylor or Audry Hepburn wearing. Lovely

Susan, this necklace is stunning. What I like about lemon quartz when you it put against black you can see nice blue color in the stone. Try it!

I will. Thanks for the suggestion. Hope everything is improving in Northern Virginia. Goodness this heat has been awful. I've seen some of your Facebook postings. Everything looks great! I've got a hectic month coming up so I don't know how much time I am going to have to work on new projects. It is such wonderful therapy that I'll have to squeeze some beading in. It's great hearing from you, Aga. Try to stay cool!
