In creating this impressive necklace I selected 10 mm bamboo coral rondelles, large turquoise rondelles,swirl carnelian beads, a carnelian wave bead and sterling silver findings including 4 mm beads, 10 x 6 mm seamed beads and a toggle clasp. The necklace is 21 1/2" in length. The focal point carnelian wave bead is 30 x 25 mm and the swirl carnelian beads are about 15 x 13 mm. Bamboo coral is coral that has been dyed and I suspect that the turquoise rondelles are from China and are likely color shot. 

I selected these sterling beads as they are large enough to stand out even with these sizable rondelles
