L'chaim! This necklace features a lovely sterling silver chai charm hung under a Swarovski crystal or pearl of your choice (shown in sapphire blue here -- See Crystal/Pearl color below for info on choosing your color). Chai is the Hebrew word for life.
The sterling silver charm is made in the USA and does not contain lead or nickel. It is 3/4" wide by around 1/2" tall(20mm x 15mm). There are tiny Star of David symbols engraved on the charm. They give the chai a textured look and some sparkle. It almost looks like its paved with diamond.
The necklace itself is made with a sterling silver (.925) delicate satellite chain (curb chain with tiny silver balls) and has a sterling silver lobster clasp.

Crystal/Pearl color
===================
The crystal shown is "sapphire".
You can choose the crystal or pearl color you desire. I've created a pull down menu with some of the more common colors (listed by birthstone, and then a few extra) - but you can also choose any of the colors from the crystal or pearl charts by selecting "Other" and then sending me a note with the order. I have all the pearls listed on the color chart and the majority of the crystals in the crystal chart. (Photos 4 and 5).
A few notes about colors. Garnet (January) is a VERY dark red. If you prefer a slightly brighter red, choose "July- Siam Ruby".
July has two options: Ruby and Siam ruby. Ruby is pinker and Siam ruby is redder.

NECKLACE LENGTH
===================
Total necklace length as shown in the photos is 18" . Lengths from 16" up to 24" are available - just select the length you need from the pull down menu. Please be aware: 16” is suitable for girls and petite women. 18” is a women’s average size. 24" is sweater length.
This antiqued brass necklace sports a fantastic giant flying key with clock face pendant, which I have embellished with a ruby red Swarovski crystal. The pendant is hung on an antiqued brass rope chain with a great vintage look to it. The necklace is finished off with a large antiqued brass lobster clasp.
The key is 3" long by 1 3/4" wide (77 x 46mm). To show you a variation in sizes the necklace shown in photo 3 is your standard 18" and in photo 5 is 24". For more length options, please refer to the pull down menu above.
I also have a large variety of Swarovski crystals in other colors -- pretty much every color under the rainbow. So, if you would like a different color, you can send me a note with preferences and I'll let you know what I have in stock.
