The pearly white glossy dragon scale beads are some of the largest beads made by manufacturers in Japan. We loaded every bead in one hole so it is smooth to the touch, but it also gives it a lovely glossy appearance. This is the smooth version of our White Wedding with the beads aligned and it has over 1000 Magatama beads in this necklace. This statement necklace is finished with a pearl white acrylic magnet end cap that has a strong hold.
See photo in our Testimonials for Danette Kong from Dec 2023 wedding. The matching bracelet featured in the first bracelet photo is a separate item available to order from 6" to 8" at $50.00 and we need 3-5 days to custom for you (the one pictured is 8" for a 7.5" wrist)
