A concave-cut green amethyst at the end of a long drop is the point of this pastel gemstone drop necklace, a one-of-a-kind pendant on recycled 14k gold-filled paperclip and circle link chains. Its curved, scalloped facets catch the light as you move.

Above it, blue topaz carries the line down from a cluster of Japanese Akoya keshi pearls, Australian opal, yellow aquamarine, aquamarine, kunzite, pale amethyst, mystic quartz, and purple and gray sapphires, with gold U-shapes on either side.

If a cluster this full makes you wonder whether it will look busy, the palette is the answer: watery blues, soft greens and pale violet, every stone chosen for how it sits beside its neighbors rather than on its own. After living with the finished piece, Andrea added one slice of Australian opal with soft blue flashes to close the last gap in the cluster. Two more topaz sit where the chain turns around the neck, so the design carries all the way to where the necklace disappears from view.

Wear it with a crisp white shirt or a scoop neck, where the drop has room to fall.

Made once by Andrea Li at her Denver bench and never repeated: for the woman who leads all day and still wants to feel feminine.

When the necklace is meant to be the statement, these blue topaz drop earrings finish the look without competing: a single blue topaz anchors each one, below a hand-formed 14k gold-filled U shape and a section of 14k gold-filled paperclip chain. The blue reads calm and clear against the gold, holding attention without asking for it.

If you have struggled to find earrings that do not clash with a sculptural necklace, here is how these were made to work. They share a necklace's materials and shapes, the U form and the paperclip chain, without matching its scale. They sit on 14k gold-filled posts with ear nuts, which leaves open space around the ear so the necklace keeps the focus.

They were designed as the companion to the Pendant Pastel Gemstone Drop Necklace, and they carry the same U shape found across the pastel gemstone jewelry collection. Wear them every day with a crew neck, or with a bold necklace at night.

Made once by Andrea Li in Denver from recycled 14/20k gold-filled components, and never repeated: for the person who values rarity in what they wear.

For anyone looking for aquamarine statement earrings with more architecture than sparkle, these chain link drop earrings join hand-formed 14k gold-filled U shapes into open oval links, with a center-drilled aquamarine at the heart of each.

If you worry that a statement earring will look like a weight on the ear, the openings are the answer. Paperclip chain runs between the joined forms, leaving space where light and skin show through, so the earrings never read as solid. And because each aquamarine is drilled through its widest point rather than near the top, it hangs in symmetrical balance instead of dangling from one edge.

The components are recycled 14/20k gold-filled, and the U shape is the same one that runs through the drop necklaces in Andrea's pastel gemstone jewelry, so they pair with a necklace as easily as they stand alone. Wear them with a sleek ponytail and a plain neckline.

One pair, made by hand by Andrea Li in her Denver studio and never repeated: for someone who wears jewelry as art, not as an accessory.

Made for a neckline that wants one clean line of gold and a flash of color, this blue topaz choker suspends three faceted blue topaz in an open pendant, framed by 14k gold-filled paperclip chains. It is a wire choker pared down to its structure: minimal at a glance, bold once it is on.

A wire choker formed as a perfect circle gaps and tilts, because a neck is not a perfect circle. This one is shaped by hand from heavy-gauge recycled 14/20k gold-filled wire, worked on an anvil to follow the natural curves of the neck and collarbone. Each topaz is turned so its flattest facet faces the back and rests against your skin instead of floating away from it, and the connector loops were adjusted until the pendant hangs straight on your centerline.

Wear it with a crew neck, an open collar or a bare shoulder. It pairs with the Oval Chain Link Drop Gemstone Earrings, which share its open shapes and paperclip chain.

One of a kind, made once by Andrea Li in her Denver studio for the Pastel Gemstone Jewelry collection: for the woman who leads all day and still wants to feel feminine.
