The Jet Black Color of this semi-precious gemstone is opaque, not translucent like smoky gemstones. The stones are very shiny and the facets are cut with precision. The necklace and earring sets color and sparkle make a dominant statement with any outfit you wear. You can wear the pendant in front, rear, or wear the necklace without the pendant. This fashionably styled necklace is made on a Sterling Silver (0.925 fine) Handmade Chain with 6mm & 7mm Faceted Roundel Black Onyx beads. One 11mm long x 10mm dia. Faceted Teardrop Black Onyx bead and one 6mm Faceted Roundel Black Onyx bead are in the pendant. The Black Onyx beads are accented with 5mm & 4mm Sterling Silver Bali Flower beads and 2mm & 3mm Sterling Silver smooth round beads. The necklace is worn with a Sterling Silver lobster claw clasp. The necklace has two Sterling Silver lobster claw clasps. One lobster claw clasp is in the back which fastens the necklace together. Another very small lobster claw clasp attaches the pendant to the necklace in front or back. The dangle earrings are made from the same materials as the pendant and are attached to a Bali Style Sterling Silver ear wire. approx. sizes - necklace: 16-1/2" long, pendant: 1-1/2" long, earrings: 1-3/4" long
