Just a common ethnic style necklace; but I am so elated after longtime spent exclusively making rings, that I feel like sharing it.
Also,both the chevron (30,5x24mm) AND the heishi are-- may I say it?--really groovy. Aren't they?

Never before I was aware of how similar is the shade of the red color in many chevrons and jasper (here two Nepali disc beads).

Sliding fastener made using a six(perhaps seven)layer chevron.
The beads are strung on a braided leather cord.
No, I have not touched the perforation;-)...it was already specially large AND slightly oblong.

Love that someone besides me enjoys leaving dangles below the fastener!

Two more using ostrich eggshell...from "those were the times my friend, we thought would never end".

*The first one, with a bone (?) Moba ancestor amulet as center piece.

**The second, with a bronze ancestor amulet (Lobi?), two small old amazonite beads,and a hand made wood (coconut shell) button&loop fastener.

This one with blue glass rings, instead of eggshell heishi...and a Not-one-of-a-kind (nice)chevron. Strung on steel wire (perhaps silver, I do not remember).
