GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Almost 2,000 feet long.

Good enough for a world record?

That's yet to be determined, but there was one very long lucky charm in Carmel Park in Glendale.

Adrian Haiduc and Mirela Harris are trying to go in the World Record Academy by making the longest lucky charm in the world.

The lace-sewn lucky charm is made of mother of pearls, pearls, red coral, agate, jade, crystal, glass beads, seed beads, all laid on ostrich and peacock feathers.

According to an official measurement from a certified surveyor, the length of the charm is 1,918 feet.

There is currently no record for a lucky charm in the World Record Academy.

The two friends are not new to this sort of thing.

They claim to own the world record for the highest launch of a jewelery collection.

The pair believe they will find out in a week if the lucky charm will be certified as a new record.
