This 20" necklace has a transparent dark green hollow focal bead that measures 1" across and almost 1-1/" around. The necklace itself is an olive green rubber over softflex for durability. There are green rubber o-rings and gold metal jump rings to hold the focal bead in place. The bead itself has been kiln annealed for durability, keep in mind it is hollow. The clasp is a silver colored lobster clasp and the loop it attaches to has been done with small green seed beads to match.

Wanted to finally challange myself to try blowing a bead. This is done on a hollow mandrel that has a small pin hole in the side so you can blow thru it while making the bead. Not a bad size bead for a first try.

I have worn this necklace out myself and have received many compliments.
