In creating this necklace and earring set I selected 6 mm round and various length barrel malachite beads, #11 green seed beads, a cross pendant from Navajo Country and sterling silver findings including 4 mm beads, ear wires and a toggle clasp. The necklace is 22 1/2" in length and the earrings are one 1 1/8" inch plus the ear wires. The cross pendant is set with six malachite cabs and is 1 3/4" including the bail by 1 1/16". It is stamped "sterling" and with the initials "ES". The malachite barrel beads were imported as a necklace from Africa. As these imported necklaces are usually strung on a light weight thread with a plated clasp, I prefer to redo them into a more quality piece using sterling silver findings and tigertail.
