Five 16 x 9mm faceted crystal briolettes are suspended by staggered lengths of sterling silver Figaro link chain from a focal yoke of gorgeous cherrywine (dyed) freshwater blister pearls.

I have used one strand of my AAA quality sterling silver twisted rope chain...this is the nicest chain I've ever purchased (see the closeup), and a strand of genuine, hand-cut garnet rectangular beads for contrast.

The effect of the crystal, sterling silver, and garnet is breathtaking!

The long strand of the necklace measures 17 1/4" in length and the garnet strand is 16", fitting inside the sterling chain nicely.

The closure is a premium .925 stamped sterling silver double sliding tube clasp...very secure.
