In handcrafted creating this triple strand necklace I selected bamboo branch coral beads, 6 mm Mother of Pearl (MOP) beads, a large imported silver and MOP pendant and sterling silver findings including 10 mm end beads, 4 mm beads, bulk chain and a lobster claw clasp. Bamboo coral has been through a color enhancing process. This process leaves the coral a deep scarlet red. Some bamboo coral will fade if exposed to heat and sunlight for extended periods of time, however, I've had strands of this branch bamboo coral on display in open air markets with no fading. 

The necklace can be adjusted from 17 1/2" to 20 1/2" in length. The imported pendant is about 3" including the bail by 1 3/8" and is stamped 925 on the bail.
