This is Solidarity 19, a single strand faceted Citrine Quartz, Glass spacer beads and Turquoise Tear Drops necklace that is a fundraiser for World Central Kitchen Ukraine. My efforts to help WCK feed the Ukrainian refugee families continues, and each one of my Solidarity Series necklaces that sells results in a 100% donation of the proceeds to World Central Kitchen Ukraine! I used these gemstones because they closely resemble the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

This piece is 19 inches long and is finished with a Sterling Silver toggle clasp with a heart design.
