About this design:
I had these gorgeous large green agate slab pendants from LB. When I found the green/black agate stones it was a match made in heaven. I made the free form links from fine silver wire. I love the tribal feel of this necklace.
Components:
Diamond shape black and green agate stones, large green agate slab pendant, sterling silver 20 guage wire, sterling silver jump rings, sterling silver Bali toggle, sterling silver beads. Half strung and half wire wrapped using simple loops.Additional Images:
