This one-of-a-kind gemstone collar necklace features a series of hand-framed green amethyst gemstones (also known as prasiolite) set in a graduated configuration that accentuates their architectural beauty. Designed by Andrea Li, artist and jewelry designer, each gemstone is housed in a custom-fabricated frame of recycled 14/20k gold-filled metal, then suspended with triple strands of fine chain accented by Labradorite enamel paperclip chains.

As a designer, Andrea allowed the materials to guide the composition. This statement necklace began as a linear design but evolved into a subtly flared collar style after exploring how the gemstones moved when worn. Framed prasiolite stones are anchored by AAA-grade concave-cut olive prasiolite beads, introducing delicate contrast and shimmer.

This collector’s piece reflects Andrea Li’s signature commitment to wearable art, informed by thoughtful engineering and artistic storytelling. Ideal as a standalone statement necklace or styled with coordinating gemstone earrings.

These minimalist gemstone stud earrings were conceived as companion earrings to complete the visual harmony of the statement collar necklace from the same series. Andrea Li, an artist and jewelry designer, crafted these studs to offer balance, a grounded, elegant punctuation to the more elaborate neckline above. The square green amethyst gemstones (also known as prasiolite) are housed in meticulously hand-fabricated gold frames, set with clean lines that echo modern designs.

Sometimes, the most impactful pieces are those that hold space without overwhelming. These post earrings exemplify that philosophy—providing polish without distraction, presence without dominance. With the clarity and soft mint hue of the gemstones, these earrings are just as arresting worn alone, making them ideal for collectors who appreciate wearable art with a refined sensibility.

Materials

• Green Amethyst (Prasiolite)

• Cat’s Eye

Add movement and light to your look with these green amethyst tassel earrings. This pair features faceted green amethyst drops anchored by a cascade of sparkling 14k gold-filled sequin chains. Designed by jewelry designer Andrea Li, these statement earrings were inspired by a healthy obsession with rare chain styles, sourced during late-night “chain-scrolling” sessions and refined at the Tucson gem show.

Each earring showcases meticulously selected sequin chains that catch the light with every step, transforming a gemstone earring into a wearable performance. The vibrant pastel tone of the green amethyst pairs effortlessly with other drop necklaces or paperclip chain necklaces from the collection. They serve as ideal companion earrings to larger statement necklaces, striking a balance between sparkle and structure.

These tassel earrings were created for collectors who understand that true style lives in the details. The handcrafted design ensures that each earring feels light, lively, and utterly unique.

This green gemstone drop necklace is proof that failure can be fertile ground for innovation. Originally designed as part of a layered necklace concept, this reimagined statement necklace flourished once freed from its initial constraints. A perfect showcase of Andrea Li’s artistry, the sleek silhouette is accentuated with slinky 14k gold-filled sequin chains, framing a vertical stack of luminous green amethyst stones.

The jewelry designer discovered the perfect visual tension by orienting the sequin chains vertically, giving the piece both structure and movement. The faceted gemstones act as elegant anchors, ensuring the drop maintains a clean line down the décolletage. Add in the soft sparkle of black and gold link chains, and you have a bold yet refined drop necklace that blurs the line between minimalism and maximalist flair.

Whether styled with an open neckline or a high collar, this work of art delivers the drama of a tassel necklace with the sophistication of a gallery piece. Designed for collectors and wearers who crave expressive jewelry, this is one of those pieces that moves with you, and moves people.

This long green gemstone necklace is hand-built by Andrea Li in her Denver studio — and it's probably the most technically demanding piece in the entire Pastel Gemstone collection. Three 14k gold-filled sequin chains align in perfect harmony to appear as one, splitting to ascend on either side of the neck while maintaining the illusion of a single strand. Getting that right required anchoring all three chains to a tiny metal bar on both sides, shaped to follow the natural contours of the body so no chain droops out of sync with the others.

Each green amethyst stone sits in a custom-fabricated gold frame, precision-drilled and hand-soldered with jump rings to connect them in a cascading Y-drop formation. The simplicity of the final design hides the complexity of the construction — the kind of elegance that only comes from distilling something difficult into something that looks effortless.

Andrea drew on every technique available — fabrication, wire work, and assembly — to build a piece where no single element is recognizable in the final design. Built once and never repeated.

Inspired by the elegant green amethyst Y drop necklace, these elongated gemstone earrings were designed as the final punctuation mark to the Pastel Collection. With three simple-cut green amethyst stones in 14k gold-filled custom frames, these drop earrings reflect the seamless collaboration between metal, fire, and intention. Each component was soldered and set with a kind of muscle memory that only develops after hundreds of hours of making, the kind of flow that results in wearable art.

Perfect for collectors drawn to modern lines and soft sparkle, these drop earrings offer an architectural silhouette softened by the calming hue of pastel green. The result is a sophisticated balance between refinement and bold simplicity, a signature look by jewelry designer Andrea Li.
