Elegant gold mega Egyptian Swirl necklace featuring carved beads of blue variscite in the shape of a bird as its centerpiece. Necklace is constructed of 12 gauge lead-safe gold color coated anodized aluminum wire which is very strong, yet lightweight. Necklace weighs less than 2 ounces, excluding the pendant. Each link has been constructed and assembled entirely by hand. Necklace is approximately 18 inches long, one inch wide, and includes a 2 inch gold filled extender chain and gold plated lobster claw clasp. Pendant portion measures 2 1/2" x 2 1/2", and is not removable. The necklace is very flexible.

I have always admired the Egyptian Swirl necklace and decided to put my own "new twist" to an ancient design using larger 12 gauge aluminum wire. It is difficult to work with but the end result is striking.
