Photos really don't do this piece justice. The entire thing is gorgeous ... from the fabulous double-strand of doubled chain to the amazing color of the 3 sizes of coin beads ... even the coin sterling beads are great!

Weighty but open and light ... this is certainly a recent favourite of mine!

Ever since I first saw these large, irregular arrowhead beads, I've wanted to make this kind of earring with them. They're big, but I just love 'em!
|
Absolutely delicious color.

Another challenge in photography - this lariat uses Unicorne's new cylinder beads and some gorgeous red teardrops with 2 fine chains. One of the chains 'floats' up and down rings connected to the other chain. Fun and quite different!

|
This new color of teardrop reminds me of frothing sea foam - here I've picked up the black in the shell beads with Onyx complimentary beads and open circles and tucked those little 'froths' inside.
