Fantastic Hand-rolled Jet Beads & Green Turquoise Necklace

This necklace will be sure to bring attention.  The hand-rolled jet beads are graduated, and there are tiny jet spacers between one near the natural green turquoise nuggets in the center.  Each nugget is its own universe of shape and color.  They end with a handmade sterling silver bead, and hook and eye clasp.  It's stunning...

Size: 27" long
