The listing, New 27" Agate & Sterling Silver Necklace + possible earrings has ended.
Ok folks, I'm going to try some of my nice necklaces that aren't turquoise {since the turquoise didn't go for much} and see how they go over. I have a lot of money in these, so if they don't do well, NO MORE nice necklaces. This is one I made that is 27" long with a pendant bead that is 1 3/4" wide. The pendant bead is stripe agate and the others are Indian agate. All the silver is sterling silver. I know because I bought every little piece to make it. It is a beautiful necklace with all the colors of nature, green, brown, orange, black, and white. And yes, I will combine shipping as I do with all my stuff. If you want to pay shipping with pay pal, my info is tammie1932@live.com. If bid reaches 1000, I will include a matching pair of earrings.
