These remarkable chrome diopside beads display an intensely vivid green, their verdant color enlivened by natural variations of translucence and opacity. Scattered throughout the strand are shimmering patches of chatoyancy that catch the light beautifully, giving the gemstones a dynamic and distinctive character.
Elegant 18k gold links connect the beads, leading to a handmade 18k gold toggle clasp set with two vibrant tsavorite garnets. The bright green garnets echo the rich color of the chrome diopside, creating a striking and harmonious finish.

ABOUT CHROME DIOPSIDE Chrome diopside is a vivid green gemstone colored by chromium, the same element responsible for the color in emerald and tsavorite garnet. The finest material comes from deposits in Siberia, where the gem is prized for its intense, saturated green and exceptional brilliance.
Unlike many green gemstones, chrome diopside is typically untreated, allowing its natural color to be appreciated in its pure form. Fine examples display a bright, fresh green that rivals far more expensive stones.
