This Lapis Lazuli Heart 2 strand necklace also has Iolite and Lapis Lazuli 4mm round beads and 6 Lapis Lazuli tear drops. I used a Sterling Silver with a faceted Lapis Lazuli cabachon link as the fastener for the Sterling Silver lobster claw clasp and there are Delica Glass spacer beads at the ends. The short strand is 17 1/2 inches long and the longer one is 18 1/2 inches long, not including the heart drop.
