“Black Cherry Peacock”

Description from Blooming Ideas: Just got done making some jewelry using the metallic peacock hematite crystal roundels and the black cherry pearls. My new favorite combo. Although I accented mine with antique silver beads, I think the antiqued brass looks good too.

    I would automatically grab purple with the peacock beads, but this black cherry is so striking. I must be fabulous in person because even in these pictures the black cherry is popping out of the peacocks.
    I bet gunmetal findings would be great too.

    I would post what I did…but I got the okay today to send it in to a stringing magazine for possible (not definite) publication. I do very basic beading…101 type stuff.
