hate the clasp! The beads are gorgeous, lots of rutilation and color. Sparlke, shine, knotted between each bead, comfy on, looks awesome and weighty but not too weighty, it's not excessive, I couldn't wear it if it was due to neck surgeries. I love the look of it and it looks great with labradorite...oh yeah, excellent necklace, grab it while you can. I "collect" interesting/exotic pieces when I can and I consider this one of those.
