Ruby Z / Candace Loheed Memphis Style Spring Colors Ceramic Bead Necklace Ruby Z / Candace Loheed Memphis Style Spring Colors Ceramic Bead Necklace
Chunky ceramic bead necklace by Candace Loheed, under her Ruby Z label, in a color scheme of pale green with black squiggles, yellow, peach and black. This is an unusually long necklace for the Ruby Z line (35") and would be a great companion necklace to wear with other necklaces produced by Loheed's ceramic jewelry lines, as several of them use the same color schemes and bead types in the designs. For example, there are other beaded necklaces of varying lengths, as well as figural necklaces.

The beads are bold and large in this piece (green tubes are 2" in length, for example), and are strung on nylon filament for security. Signature bead is marked both Candace Loheed and Ruby Z, and is located near the metal screw-barrel clasp. Condition overall is excellent, with a bit of rubbing on one of the green tubes, and a few black spacer beads with tiny chips near the openings where they bump into other beads. - $100
