Length from clasp to bottom is just at 9 inches - and on me, that sits right where my collar bones meet at the sternum.
encircled Pearls is an apt name, but sort of misleading, when you take into account that the 'pearls' in this piece, are actually Glass Pearls - but they are encircled by Dark Grey dyed Shell donuts! ^_^ Glass Seed beads and other small glass beads are what compose this lovely little necklace; the clasp on it is a silver colored bar and ring toggle.
I'm thinking of trying another necklace like this one, but with Freshwater Pearls and Swarovski crystals. ^_^ I think that'd look lovely - keep checking back for it!
