Special necklaces for mom for Mother's Day, including an affordable, colorful Murano glass pendant. Mom would love to have any of these pretty necklaces in her jewelry box.
Here's another lovely necklace fashioned with a Murano glass pendant. This oval, blended-color piece drops gracefully from a black cord that closes with a sterling silver lobster-claw clasp. The glass pendant contains Aventurine and is a blush color that would work with many ensembles. Other colors are available.
A gracefully curved dragonfly made from 18K white gold dangles at the center of a 15.75"
box chain. Three
prong-set diamonds form the upper body of the dragonfly, which is held in place with a lobster claw clasp. Gift boxed, made in Italy.
This platinum-plated sterling silver heart charm is covered with cubic zirconia. Each side of the heart is connected to ends of a 16" chain, rather than being strung through chain at a single point as many pendants are. The heart pendant adds subdued glitter to the piece -- just enough to make it sparkle.
