This has been in my private collection for over 25 yrs. It is sterling silver and marked sterling and signed "Emily". The chain is about 18 1/2" long and is adjustable. I tend to wear it choker bib style.

The necklace is amazingly well made and is comprised of 5 large oval pieces of smooth cabachon shaped rhodochrosite (which means rose colored) stones set into sterling silver mountings. The center piece measures about 2 1/2" by 2' and the 2 sections on either side gradually get smaller.
Superb and in excellent condition, I have treated this necklace with love and care and it is like new. I believe it is probably circa 1970s or earlier as it was a few years old when I purchased it.
I am unfamiliar with the artist Emily, and I welcome any information on it should you be familiar with her.

According to some sources...
"Rhodochrosite helps develop inner freedom by neutralizing the destructive behavioral patterns that restrict personal growth and undermine physical health. Rhodochrosite's energy comes like a storm: it destroys negative patterns, sweeps away emotional clutter, and works with you to build healthier patterns. By helping you resolve inner conflicts, Rhodochrosite encourages all aspects of your being to work together with a unified focus. It imparts self-confidence as it helps you realize your power to transform your own life."
Also:
"Rhodochrosite (also known as Inca Rose Stone, Raspberry Spar, Manganese Spar) comes in a variety of shades from bright red to soft shades of pink, and opaque forms with swirling patterns. Rhodochrosite is an excellent conductor of energy."
