This necklace is handmade with solid .925 sterling silver and love. Each link was created with 14 gage sterling wire and each ball was melted down and soldered onto the links individually. The necklace itself measures 12” and comes with a 4” chain extender so the wearer has an option of wearing this piece longer or short (as shown in pictures). She weighs 15 grams and looks incredible layered with other necklaces as shown. This heirloom piece will last you a lifetime.
