Harlequin Wire, Onyx, Mother of Pearl, and Crystal Necklace

Nothing is more classic than the combination of black and white. Add some sterling silver wire to these beads, which are a mixture of mother-of-pearl, black onyx, and crystals, and the metal really makes this necklace pop. The finished length of this piece is a hair longer than 18 inches, but you can alter the length very easily by removing or adding more crystal beads on either end of it.
