Fancy Cowgirl is a 3 strand southwestern styled necklace with Cultured White Rice Pearls, Grey Moonstone rounds and Turquoise in 2 shapes and sizes. The hexagonal Turquoise beads in the longest strand are facted so they have a bit of the reflective qualities of the Pearls and the Moonstone! I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a Sterling Silver oval toggle clasp at the ends.

The shortest strand is 16 1/2 inches long and the longest one is 19 3/4 inches long. Pearls are June's birthstone and Turquoise is December's birthstone.

Some say the Pearls are a classic look, but combined with Moonstone and Turquoise this necklace feels quite contemporary and western. According to charmsoflight.com, Pearls are a symbol of innocence, faith and being charitable. They're called the "Stone of Sincerity" and many cultures highly celebrate Pearls.
