There are 133 on the necklace 10 on each earring for a total of 153 Swarovski Crystals. The findings on the necklace and the earrings are highlighted by aurora borealis rhinestones. That is 301 unbelievable glass beads on this set. The five draping strands that make up the necklace are 10 1/2 inches, 12 inches, 13 inches, 14 1/2 inches, and 17 inches long.

A friend described these beads in the following way. "The bead itself is a rich peacock blue with other gorgeous colors. That coloring is in the glass itself. A matte carnival glass coating was applied to the bead. Then the bead was cut - this is those long deep grooves on the bead. By cutting into the bead they exposed the internal glass of the bead with it's vivid colors. I've never seen a bead like that. It's fantastic and must have been an expensive item for the manufacturer to acquire." She described the beads so well. They truly reflect all the colors of the rainbow. All three pieces of this set are signed.
