This bronze and turquoise necklace set includes a wire woven bronze & turquoise howlite necklace & earrings - It was inspired by a long copper tube I wove with bronze and turquoise wires just for the fun of wire weaving. It took over a month for me to get focused on what to do with it. I beaded the necklace strand with coppertone glass and attached the pendant of turquoise howlite by creating a wire woven bale to tie it all together. The only component I did not manufacture is the beautiful Tierra Cast toggle clasp. Necklace Weight: 1/2 ounce. Length: 20" | Pendant: 1 - 3/4" | Hang length: 21 - 3/4".
EARRINGS: The perfect pair for this artistic necklace are these complementary earrings with earwires hand crafted by yours truly.
Earrings Weight: 1/10 ounce. Length: 1 -5/8". Because these are light weight, earring stoppers are recommended. | How to prevent misshaping earwires when removing stoppers? Screw them off instead of pulling on them.|

Measuring a necklace that you wear often is the easiest way to replicate the fit that you prefer. Try the method below to find the necklace "hang" length you are seeking. This measurement makes buying a new one with similar fit expectations much easier.
- Lay the necklace flat: unclasp it, straighten it out so that it isn't twisted or knotted.
- Use a ruler or tape: from the clasp over to the other end of the necklace, excluding any pendant drop unless that is part of how you wear it.
- Add pendant length (if any): If there is a fixed pendant that hangs below the necklace strand, take a measurement of the drop from wear it hangs from the necklace strand, adding that to the length to get your desired "hang" length.
