Moroccan Bling
About this design:
It was clear to me, since I bought them, that these elongated silver beads would be paired with these peach pearls, but the design was never quite right. They stayed on my table for several months until I finally found a design that satisfied me. In the end, I thought it had a Moroccan or Indian look to it, hence the name :)
Components:
Elongated silver beads, Swarovsky pearls, Swarovsky bicones, silver spacers, silver bead frame and Swarovsky pendant bead.Additional Images:
