Statement Necklace in garnet by Andrew Thornton

Just received this in the mail today! 
This necklace designed and constructed by Andrew Thornton http://andrewthornton.bigcartel.com/products  
and let me tell you it is FABULOUS! He used one of my focal beads for the drop and six strands of linked beads, (3 on each side) and he used a hand crafted toggle for the closure...so easy to wear!
The wire wrapping alone took hours of work!
 (each individual bead is linked/wrapped w/ gold wire) Here's Andrew's description,
The necklace is composed of Swarovski crystals, faceted freshwater pearls, borosilicate lampwork beads, semi-precious stones, a shibuichi toggle from Saki Silver, and of course, a polymer focal by you!
