In creating this necklace I selected graduated round malachite beads, 3 mm malachite beads, an imported pendant and sterling silver findings including 4 mm beads, large woven beads and a toggle clasp. The necklace is 23" in length and the graduated beads vary from about 6 mm to 12 mm. The imported pendant is 2" including the bail by 1 1/8" with the malachite cabonachon being 1 3/8" by 7/8" and is stamped 925. The graduated malachite beads are hand polished and imported from Africa. Lots of silver and a bull-eye malachite cabochon in the impressive pendant. I added a large, rich looking sterling bead on either side of the pendant.
