Necklace is about 28”, so just slips over your head. Easy on, easy off. Necklace has a little bit of “play” in it- where an additional charm or two could be added on the wire. There are 8 faceted turquoise colored beads. I am not sure if they are stone or glass or some other material, but they really add to the beauty and sparkle of this necklace. I will be listing some charms shortly.
