This 2 strand necklace is called Amethyst Puffed Heart and it features that heart drop, faceted Amethyst cubes, round smooth darker Amethyst beads and Clear Quartz Crystal ovals. It's finished with Delica Glass beads and a Sterling Silver locking clasp. This one is really pretty and it's February's birthstone!

The short strand is 17 1/4 inches long and the longer one is 18 1/4 inches long without the heart drop.
