Share the love of jewelry with this beautiful necklace by Lia Sophia.  This style features genuine Jasper, which is a semi-opaque to opaque rose quartz, usually yellowish, reddish or brown.  Jasper is sometimes carved, but seldom faceted.  The use of Jasper in jewelry goes back to the early history's civilization.  It was once believed to have curative powers.  Reddish Jasper, referred to as Cherry Jasper, is commonly known to vary in shades from dark plum to light mauve with characteristic swirls of white.  This necklace also boasts of genuine Turquoise.  One of the oldest gem materials dating back to 7000 BC, Turquoise is considered a precious stone and at one time in history was valued by weight more than gold.  The color is said to make the wearer feel happy and relaxed for it combines the light blue of the sky with the invigorating green of the seas.  Turquoise that is worn next to the skin will often change color over a period of time due to the stones reaction to skin oils.  This is considered by many collectors to be a badge of honor for an antique gemstone.  Lia Sophia stands behind their products.
