These beads are plain ol' black obsidian, but they have been carved into roses. (They're only roses on one side, with the other being dome-shaped. I turned over the bead closest to the hook in the first picture so that you could see its back.) They measure roughly 18mm from side to side. I linked each with gold-filled wire, finishing with a vermeil hook & eye clasp.
The necklace is about 21.75 inches long (can be worn shorter by hooking the clasp between two beads as shown), with a weight of 2.1 oz.
I made matching earrings with gold-filled French hooks and heart-shaped vermeil dangles. The bead-links plus dangles are about 1.25 inches long, and the earrings weigh 0.2 oz.
