The centrepiece is composed of hammered brass beads enameled with black and silver (all this on top of the shiny gold brass that's already there!), and set with sparkling clear rhinestones. These beautiful artisan beads were handmade in the Indian state of Kashmir. The four-strand necklace may be worn as a dogcollar or at the base of the throat as a choker, for the hook and extender closure gives it a working length of from 15-3/4" to 17-1/4". The necklace is made up of jet and clear firepolish crystal, and gold plate accents. It's another fabulously exotic 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.
