This necklace is 57 ¾ inches long. It consists of 1000 gold color beads and one purple one. It demonstrates the difference between 1 million and 1 billion. The purple bead represents one million. The gold beads represent one billion. It's as simple as that. It shows how much of a difference those 3 zeros make.

It also can show the difference between 1000 and 1 million or a billion and a trillion.

Genuine Preciosa silver lined glass beads are strung on high quality beading thread for a stunning visual effect and maximum durability. I string these by measurement rather than count so the number of beads vary slightly in each item. The necklace can be layered 2 or 3 times for different lengths or many times to be used as a bracelet.

Assembled from new materials by me in the USA. Packaging and printed materials are minimal and made of recycled or reused materials whenever possible.
