Bead knotting is traditionally done with silk thread, placing a knot between each bead to prevent them from rubbing against each other.
The necklace is fastened with a unique sterling silver clasp with a natural red rutilated quartz cabochon.

The color of the beads is a wondrous reddish-brown, caramel red, or silky red, so silky and luxurious — gorgeous, warm shades of cherry with reddish-golden hair-like inclusions that are much finer.
The color is authentic and natural. No thermal or other mechanical treatments were used.
In Feng Shui, this color symbolizes luck and intense vitality. Above all, Rutilated Quartz is a stone believed to attract wealth. Fortune brings positive energy.

Rutile, often referred to throughout history as Red Schorl, is a rare titanium oxide mineral that crystallizes in the form of grains, masses, prismatic crystals, and long needle-like crystals. Rutile often forms needle-like crystal inclusions inside quartz. This form of Quartz is referred to as Rutilated Quartz, and it will have the appearance that there are small bars of embedded gold within it. Occasionally, the rods can be red, as in this example.

Red Rutilated Quartz is less common than the more typical golden or black rutilated quartz. This rarity adds to its allure and desirability among collectors and enthusiasts. See less
