I designed and made this necklace by hand using a collection of small Aqua Terra Jasper beads (6 spheres and 2 rectangles) and five tiny vintage bells as the centerpiece. There are also 2 African Turquoise disks, 2 tiny Iron Pyrite spheres, and 4 moonstone disks.
The remainder of the piece is comprised of glass seed and bugle beads in a permanent matte antiqued brass color. I completed this necklace with a solid brass lobster claw clasp and copper ring, both with a lovely antiqued patina.
You will receive the *exact* piece pictured here.
This piece measures 17-1/4 inches, not including the clasp.

For those who are interested in the metaphysical properties of stones:
Aqua Terra Jasper is known to soothe anxiety, tension, and worries. Its bright, lively energy may help ease depression and keeps one from becoming too serious.
African Turquoise is actually a variety of Jasper that looks quite similar to Turquoise. Jasper is known to be nurturing, protective, and uplifting.
Moonstone is a very feminine stone that has a calming, balancing energy. It is said to enhance intuition and bring deeper understanding of the cyclical nature of life.
Iron Pyrite is often used as a shield stone, as it has protective qualities, and can boost self confidence (particularly regarding decision-making).
