Rainbow Moonstone Beaded Necklace

A full strand of faceted rainbow moonstone, hand-beaded into a luminous everyday necklace. Each 4.3mm rondelle catches the light differently, with flashes of soft blue moving across the stones as you wear it.

A single 14k gold-filled bead sits at the center, with two more gold-filled accent beads placed near the clasp for balance. The result is clean and modern, with the natural glow of moonstone.

The necklace measures 16 inches and closes with a 14k gold-filled lobster clasp. A 1-inch gold-filled extender chain, finished with a tiny moonstone drop, lets you wear it between 16 and 17 inches.

Wear it on its own with an open collar, or layer it with fine gold chains. Moonstone is the birthstone for June, which makes this a thoughtful gift for June birthdays.

• A ruler or measuring tape

• A mirror (optional, for checking placement)
  

Step-by-Step: How to Measure Necklace or Bracelet Size

1. Wrap the String

• For necklaces: Loop the string around your neck to where you'd like the pendant or chain to sit—collarbone, chest, or longer.

• For bracelets: Wrap around your wrist where you'd like the bracelet to rest—snug or slightly loose.

2. Mark the Length

• Pinch or cut the string at the exact point where both ends meet.

• This marks your ideal jewelry length.

3. Measure the String

• Lay it flat against a ruler or tape measure.

• Write down the measurement in inches—this is the size to order.

Pro Tip: If you're between sizes, go up a half an inch for comfort.
