Beaded Lapis, Tiger Eye, Swarovski Crystal & Gold Choker Necklace

I bought this necklace from a jewelry store which features the work of individual jewelers. Here’s what the salesperson told me: This artisan creates each piece with precious and semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals and occasional found objects and costume jewelry elements. Metals are sterling silver, 14 carat gold and/or gold fill. The faceted blue beads are lapis lazuli and the amber colored crystals are Swarovski crystals. There are a few small gold beads in the middle that I believe are 14 carat gold. Other gold beads and the clasp may be gold fill. The blue center piece may or may not be lapis. I can tell you that this jeweler’s work was prominently featured in a glass case while some other jeweler’s less expensive pieces were displayed in the open.
