Ta da! Completed! I rarely make necklaces but this pendant said I needed to rectify that deficiency.
So, out came the tarnish free copper and the red jasper beads. The rectangles are just a bit over 1/2" long and the faceted buttons are 4x6mm. How's that for mixing my measurements? The necklace is just under 22" long, with the clasp hooking in the front. I am not satisfied with the clasp, pondering something different....
Update - I did change the front clasp and magically, a new home came along and this beauty left my care and keeping for a new jewelry box. Enjoy, my dear!
