Long Garnet Beads Necklace Hand Knotted 42" Gemstone

Sexy and gorgeous 42" long, graduated genuine garnet hand knotted necklace. There is one small bead that is cracked in half at the back of the necklace. What would I do? I would take a small hammer and chip the bead completely off. Since these beads are all hand knotted, it will not matter and you will not lose any other beads. And you will not miss this bead one iota. The largest center bead is approx. 1/4" across. Sold as is due to the cracked bead.
