The Wave 2 is a 3 strand necklace with Apatite flat rounds (coins) Lapis rounds and faceted rondelles and Turquoise rounds and rondelles. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver filled toggle clasp to finish the ends. The shortest strand is 17" long and the longest one is 20" long, but I can always adjust the lengths for you! After I finished this necklace, I was watching something on tv and learned about a new look called "coastal cowgirl"! Last year the look was "coastal grandma" and I know I really created pieces that fit that description, but now I see that this newest necklace, designed and completed before I'd ever heard of "coastal cowgirl", really fits that look too! It feels like beach jewelry, and really will be perfect for festivals, concerts, parties, or just hanging out with friends and family!
