This terrific Necklace showcases eye-catching Turquoise Drum & Rondelle Beads, set off by Sterling Silver Jump Rings, Czech Glass, and 48 Handcrafted Charms. The Drum Beads are 8-by-11mm in dimension while the Rondelles are 4.5-by-8mm, and both display a blend of blue and blue-green hues with brown matrix. They are alternated starting from the bottom of the strand, with first a Drum Bead capped by Rondelle Beads, then a Drum bead capped by Picasso Aquamarine Glass Rondelles, then repeat. There are 9 styles of Czech Glass, all of which are used to create the Charms, and 7 of which are used in the 2nd Necklace strand. The Charms are sequenced in 5 sets of 3 along fifteen (15) 9.5mm Sterling Silver Jump Rings, which are placed between the Turquoise Beads. The components are linked together using wire-wrapped Silver Head Pins. The Czech Glass includes:
- 6mm transparent green & twilight capri blue Fire Polished Glass Faceted Ovals;
- 4mm erinite, antique silver & luster green Fire Polished Glass Faceted Ovals;
- 4mm cerulean blue Fire Polished Glass Faceted Rounds;
- 4.5mm seafoam green 3-sided Crystal Rondelles;
- 8mm translucent green Druk Glass Rounds; and
- 4-by-5mm metallic iris green Pinch Beads.
The Czech Glass adds wonderful translucency and subtle sparkle to the design, while the Sterling adds impressive shine. The 2nd Necklace strand — comprised of 7 styles of Czech Glass — alternates the Beads in successive sequences, creating symmetry of color and size. It has its own Sterling Jump Ring with 3 Charms, positioned at the bottom of the strand. The 2 Necklace strands pair beautifully together. At the top of the Necklace the Turquoise and Czech Glass transition to Picasso Aqua Glass Rondelles, streamlining the silhouette and ensuring a comfortable fit. The Necklace is finished with a Sterling Silver Toggle Clasp and adorned with a Southwest Designs Sterling Charm. The piece weighs 78 grams and is 24-1/2 inches long.
