The jet shimmer Swarovski crystal beads are inspired by Swarovski's classic AB effect. Swarovski has innovated the shimmer effect to be able to radiate three shades of color for more dazzling light refraction and movement. These beads are stunning, making a major statement in this simple and sophisticated jewelry set.

This jewelry design is right on trend with PANTONE's Classic Blue color of the year. Create a tone-on-tone statement by pairing this piece with shades of blue and denim. This design can be dressed up or down, and the earrings and necklace can be worn separately or together as a matching set.

The subtle asymmetrical accents in the necklace using vermeil round beads and gold-filled corrugated rondelles is visually pleasing. The fishhook clasp with its filigree detailing is a standout element.

This design is easy to string for quick jewelry sales and upping your own fashion game. Propel your sales and personal style this season with this striking jewelry set.
