A neat twist on simple stringing, this stretchy necklace allows for an adjustable size. The design is inspired by rainforests, whose riches provide lush habitats to more than two thirds of all plant and animal species on earth. The variations of blues and greens in this necklace evoke the spirit of those great forests.
