In creating this 17 1/2" necklace I combined a 24 x 36 mm freshwater pearl cross shaped pendant, 12 x 10 mm oval shell beads and sterling silver findings including 4 mm beads and a spring ring clasp.
These colored shell beads are made from natural shell which has been bleached and dyed into beautiful colors. The beads maintain their natural iridescent appearance with the addition of bright colors.
