Hypersthene 7mm necklace + earrings

These hypersthene beads are a very deep brown, almost black.  Their highly polished glassy surfaces have chatoyant depths.  Gorgeous!  (I have another hypersthene necklace here.)

I strung the beads with Bali vermeil spacers, and finished with a vermeil s-clasp.  The finished length is 18 3/8 inches, with a weight of 1.3 oz.

I made matching earrings with gold-filled headpins and French hooks.
The dangles are 1 1/4 inches long, and the earrings weigh 0.2 oz.
