Large Freeform Drop Turquoise and Carnelian Necklace

In creating this drop style necklace I combined end drilled turquoise nuggets, 4 mm carnelian beads, a large free-form turquoise drop as a focal point and sterling silver findings including a Bali bead cap, 4 mm round beads and a toggle clasp. The necklace is 18 1/2" in length and the nuggets are mostly about 3/4" by 3/8" by 1/4". The center drop pendant is 2" with the free-form turquoise being 1 5/8" by 1 1/8" by 3/16" .



The turquoise center drop has interesting matrix that is a good match to that in the huggets! The carnelian beads are lighter in color that shown.
