This Sapphireskies offering was hand crafted back in 2001. I was just starting out making jewelry and my sister was supporting my business. She has since passed away and I received the pieces I made for her back. The beads are sterling silver, iolite, freshwater pearls, & quartz. The beads are strung on professional grade 49 strand, nylon coated Beadalon beading wire. This could be worn as is or taken apart and repurposed. It measures 19.5 inches in length
