Rio Style Necklaces in Sterling Silver  

Multi-Strand Natural Stone Necklaces Inspired by Rivers

The rio style emerged from designers seeking to capture how water separates and rejoins around stones in a riverbed. Each necklace combines several strands of natural gemstones, often mixing complementary stones like rutilated quartz, amethyst, or citrine within a single piece. The strands twist and layer at different lengths, producing dimension that flat single-strand designs cannot match. Sterling silver components connect these multiple strands while adding structural integrity. Clasps, spacer bars, and accent beads in .925 silver create visual breaks between gemstone sections and ensure the strands hang properly without tangling. The silver work ranges from minimal connector pieces to elaborate focal elements depending on the design. We source our natural stones from established suppliers and set them in sterling silver at our facilities. Since 2005, SilverRush Style has shipped rio style necklaces and other natural stone jewelry to customers across the United States with no shipping fees.
