Consider a piece from Jennifer Dawes' jaw-dropping csarite collection, such as this gorgeous Imperial Csarite Necklace. Set with a color-changing teardrop csarite (this mineral is 10,000 times more rare than diamond!), this stunner will take your breath away (which will be difficult because you'll constantly have people asking what that gorgeous stone is).
