Handmade Necklace of turquoise howlite & glass spiral pendant with earrings - This is my original design based on a variation of the cellini spiral originated by seed bead masters Virginia Blakelock and Carol Perenoud who developed the tubular variation. They named it after Benvenuto Cellini, a 16th-century Italian sculptor known for his Rococo architectural columns. This piece features glass beads and turquoise howlite in an “opera length” artistic necklace creation. The necklace base is pure copper wire which ties the various pieces together. A hand-beaded pendant boasts copper colored glass beads surrounded by natural turquoise and is enhanced with small glass beads of turquoise, mauve, blue and light green. The pendant hangs from a copper wire base connecting it to tubes of colored glass, strings of turquoise howlite, and linked with wire wrapped glass beads. Clasp is handmade. Pendant is 1 1/2" x 1 7/8" Length is 29 inches (28 - 32 is considered “opera length”). Weighs 1.7 oz.  EARRINGS INCLUDED: Handshaped and hammered red copper wire is simply adorned with turquoise howlite. Each earring measures approximately 1 - 1/2 inches long.
