SOLD and SHIPPED: "Punakea" necklace and earrings set
Offer: one handmade necklace in heavy clear and multicolored clear-encased canework glass beads, with matching pierced earrings.
Necklace is roughly 25.5 inches/65 cm long when stretched out flat and open; the actual beaded portion is about 21 inches/54 cm long, and the remainder of the length is a mid-size silvertone curb chain, which allows you to adjust the wearing length. Clear Czech glass beads in plain round and pressed "pumpkin" shapes, caneworked disc beads with fine threadlike stripes in a rainbow of colors encased in clear glass, and 4mm silver-plated spacer beads alternate in a subtle geometric pattern, the regularity of the repeat contrasting with the irregular sizes and flashes of color of the disc beads. There's a 1/2 inch long clear glass double pyramid bead with tiny bubble inclusions as the focal point; the average width of the largest beads is 3/8 inch. It's strung on nylon-coated steel cable, with silvertone crimp covers, wire protectors, and a lobsterclaw clasp.
The matching earrings for pierced ears are roughly 1.75 inches/4.5 cm long, made of the same beads on heavy sterling silver bead-tipped headpins and sterling French hook earwires. Clear safety nuts will be included on request at no extra charge, for folks who have trouble with earrings getting lost.
For a small extra fee, I can swap out the earwires and/or clasp for another style -- the earwires can be switched to posts, fishhooks, leverbacks, or even clip-ons in sterling, the clasp can be switched to a few different silvertone S-hooks, or even the clasp and chain can be replaced with a toggle clasp if you don't want the length to be adjustable.

Delivery: Will be mailed at auction's end, as soon as you send me shipping info (unless you want this customized, in which case the time estimate will vary depending on what sort of reworking you want me to do.) I'm happy to ship outside of the US, but please consider the greater cost of international shipping when bidding...
This set will be sent in a cloth gift pouch; if you'd like this to arrive ready for gift-giving, I'll be happy to put it in a ribbon-tied gift box for a small extra fee -- just let me know the occasion/color scheme you'd like the packaging to suit!
These photos show the shortest and longest adjustments possible with the extender chain. You can of course also fasten the clasp at any point in between those two extremes to fine-tune the length as desired.
