Description from Julie Shane: Inspired by Coral's Fresh Pick called Gothic Garden. I just couldn't resist the combo that she gave us.
The Earthenwood pendant is front and center and the links are earrings. Lots of oxblood dangles encircling the black diamond beads. Grey iris to give a bit of softness to the reds. A few bellflowers to make it more springtime.
