***Special Order Necklace***

This necklace is made of Peridot chip beads, with sterling silver beads and clasp. I'm including it here because it is a piece I "created," although I did not do much to "design" it. The customer wanted this (very) long strand of Peridot chips strung, for her granddaughter, in a fairly secure way. So, I used a very strong beading wire (nylon coated steel,) and fastened crimp beads about every two inches for the entire length of the chain (over 30 inches total.) That way, if the strand should break, the beads will not ALL fall off of the cord, just what is within the broken part could.

Enjoy!!
