This beautiful blue stone has tiny crystals on the inside. They sparkle and shine with a lot of intensity! I matched this stone up with Gold Plated seed beads (in two sizes - 11o and 15o). Normally this color of blue is matched with Silver, but for this one I just felt like the GOLD worked...and it really does! This necklace took over 40 hours to complete. I used peyote stitch and Herringbone stitch to complete it. The center is made without the use of GLUE or BACKING. The center sets inside beads that are between 11o and 15o (this means there are between 11 - 15 beads per inch). Necklace measures at 15.5 - 18 inches in length and can be lengthened if needed. Center hangs down 2.5 inches from top of strap.
