This one-of-a-kind necklace pairs a fabulous etched brass and green enamel pendant with glass beads from Africa, India, and Turkey as well as brass findings and green Magnesite semi-precious gemstone beads.
The necklace is 20" in length (with extra loops to extend by about 1,") the pendant hangs 2-1/2," and the dangling part of the earrings measures 1."

Here you can see a close-up view of the pendant - it's a lovely bright spring green with an elegant design etched into the brass overlay. The back of the pendant is brass, and on either side I've accented it with small green Ashanti beads from Africa, green Magnesite rondelle beads, large glass powdered beads from Ghana, and brass and acrylic spacers and findings.

The necklace closes with a nickel-free bar and loop toggle that has extra rings to lengthen the necklace. Toward the back, I've used more Ashanti beads, two green evil eye beads from Turkey, tiny brass rondelles from Africa, and glass rondelles from India. I've finished each end with tiny green Czech glass beads.

The sides of the beaded necklace feature handmade recycled glass beads from Ghana interspersed with glass rondelle beads from India. There are green faceted glass beads, more green Magnesite, and brass and acrylic spacers.

The matching earrings have all brass findings and nickel-free posts. The focal beads are handmade recycled glass from Africa with a green Ashanti bead on top, and on the bottom is a glass rondelle from India.
