Night Sky is a 3 strand necklace incorporating Black Spinel facets and smooth beads, a Picasso Marble oval drop, Snowflake Obsidian rondelles and a Sterling Silver toggle clasp. There are black Delica Glass spacer beads at the ends of each strand. I think that this necklace really sums up what the New Mexico night sky looks like from my perspective!

The shortest strand is 17 3/4 inches and the longest one is 21 inches. The drop adds another 2 inches to the bottom of the longest strand! It's 1 inch wide. My research on the healing properties of these gemstones led me to understand the wide and powerful range of assitance that this necklace can provide to the person wearing it! It's also a true statement piece!
