These tapered-ended round crystal beads are among the most graceful shapes currently produced by Swarovski Crystal. In this instance, the clear beads are given a coating of jet black crystal, then the jet coating is cut away from roughly half the facets, revealing the sparkling clear crystal beneath. The result is a delightful harlequin pattern, something between art deco and high tech. Spaced by jet-lined clear Italian seed beads, the crystals graduate in size from 6mm to 12mm in diameter. The approximately 18" strand closes with a sterling silver hook set, which is set with tiny dots of black glass. Fun yet elegant, this necklace is the perfect companion for every outfit. It's another versatile necklace from SPARKLE PLENTY. All of our one of a kind and limited edition artisan beaded jewelry is individually handcrafted in our studio in Los Angeles, California.
