This necklace measures 25" and slips on over the head with no clasp. The necklace and earring set features 12 of my handmade polymer clay beads and a pendant made using a lampwork glass bead by Donna Montez. It is strung with genuine garnets, turquoise, tigereye, colored pearls, and glass beads.

While photographing close ups of the pendant bead I saw the visual analogy to the parting of the seas. "Parting of the Red Sea" Exodus 14:21-22 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and Yahweh drove the sea back with a strong easterly wind all night and made the sea into dry land. The waters were divided and the Israelites went on dry ground right through the sea, with walls of water to right and left of them.

The glass lampwork bead was made by Donna Montez. Donna is one of a group of 4 women who call themselves the Texas Hot Flashes. To learn more about these glass artisans follow the link on my "Links" page.
