Ruby Frost Snowflake Necklace

A little winter sparkle for the holidays. This necklace is strung with ruby red glass seed beads and a scattering of larger red glass rounds, broken up with black and gold-tone accent beads for a rich, jewel-box look. At the center hangs a gold-tone snowflake charm set with clear, green, and red crystals that catch the light as you move. A touch of teal near the clasp adds a quiet surprise, and the gold-tone toggle clasp fastens easily in the front. It’s dressy enough for a holiday party and simple enough to wear with a favorite sweater.

Care tips

• Put it on last, after lotion, perfume, and hairspray, and take it off before showers, swimming, and workouts.

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid jewelry dips and harsh polish, which can cloud the crystals and wear down the gold-tone finish.

• Store it flat or hung up so the fine beading doesn’t tangle or kink.

• Seed beads are small and delicate, so avoid pulling or snagging the strand on clothing or zippers.
