This one of mommy's favorite necklaces. Yours would be the same except with a magnetic clasp. The tube beads can be gold or silver color, whichever you prefer. Purrrrrrrrrs.

These are all fluorite. The bottom ones could be used alone. The other two would need to be interspersed with something lighter, IMO.

Kitty/doggie necklace examples. Materials are pearls, glass, MOP, amber. All have magnetic clasps that pop open if necklace gets caught on something. You can design your own from materials I have and I will adjust size to your anipal's neck.

@LadyBonessa Rufus wanted to play, too, so I let him think he took the toy away from me, silly boy! Purrrrrrrrrrrrs.
