    Love this one Gina. Emerald is my birthstone but I don’t use it much because it can be “harsh” and bright. I like the Missfickle media and the rainbow frosted seedbeads together.

    My favorite color! I’ve already been collecting some of these in anticipation of this. :) You have put together a delicious mixture of emerald—the wearin’ o’ the green! :)

    Gina P - Delta Chick says:

    Thanks girls! :D I love green, but you are so right Julie! Emerald is a difficult color to work with. My personal taste leans more towards the peridot and green garnet side of the spectrum. However, I was delighted with the way this pick turned out. ;)
