I used a variety of material in this one - genuine turquoise and garnet beads - I love those colors together - genuine Swarovski Azure blue crystal bi-cones ( art #5301 ) in graduated sizes of 4 - 6 and 8mm. All the findings are sterling silver. Around the back of the neck I used small 4mm soft round turquoise and sterling spacers with alternating turquoise glass seed beads so that it lays softer on the neck with no clasp to chafe. There is no clasp and simply slips over the head. The necklace measures 28" long. The turquoise carved arrowhead measures 1 1/2" long. Only piece I made of course.
