About this design:
It took me awhile to figure out what I was going to do with this natural purple jasper pendant and beads. I came across these acrylic plum chips and liked the way they brought out the soft purple shades in the jasper.
Components:
35x45mm natural purple jasper, 12mm natural purple jasper rounds, 10-12mm acrylic plum chips, silver plated beads, TierraCast antique silverplated toggle from Lima Beads, sterling silver leaf bail, AccuFlex beading wire.Additional Images:

Nancy Mc says:So pretty! I really like the soft muted colors,and that big focal is gorgeous. I looked at the necklace before I read the details,and racked/wracked my brain to figure out what those pretty stones were..Ohhhhhhh acrylic..ha ha ha!
They look great sandwiched in between the Jasper.
