Description

This necklace is your go-to piece that coordinates with so many outfits! Faceted multicolor tundra sapphire and amethyst bead necklace is accented by three lampwork cheetah beads custom-made for CCF by glass artist Karen Leonardo, finished with a sterling clasp. 


Margaret's life was changed forever in March 2008 when she discovered CCF after reading a Smithsonian Magazine article about Dr. Marker and her mission to save the cheetah from extinction. In her own words: "I was haunted by the article and wanted to help the CCF in any way I could. I decided on jewelry. I have been making precious metal and gemstone jewelry as a hobby for about four years as a sideline to my nursing career of 30 years. 100% of the profits from the sale of my jewelry goes to help CCF, so you can be proud of yourself for buying to help the cause! May the cheetah population and its future bloom and flourish again. With both the CCF and everyday people like you and me in the cheetah's corner, we will succeed!"
