The Story & Styling

Chrysoprase as a smooth round bead reads soft and saturated, the apple-green color sitting close to the throat. The aquamarine above shifts the palette into a cool, watery blue, and the pavé diamond hoops add quiet shine.

Reads fresh against linen, polished against a blouse, dressy with a slip dress. Pairs with cream, ivory, sage, denim blue, and warm neutrals.

Ulka's Expert Insight: Chrysoprase is a green variety of chalcedony, colored by nickel. The cleanest stones come from Australia (Marlborough) and read closer to apple green than mint. Look for even saturation throughout the bead, which signals a higher grade.
