About this design:
This is a mix of unikite rondelles and aventurine drops. I think it was maybe 45 minutes into the craft show on Saturday when this was purchased. Lady just grabbed it and said I want it, didn't check the price. I've heard that buying jewelry is an impulsive or emotional thing, but I've never seen anyone do that. :)
Components:
Unikite, Green Aventurine,Additional Images:

Beadlady3 aka Cindy says:Thanks everyone! That leaf looks a little more orange than it was…must be the light. I was trying to lean toward the unikite’s pinkish.
She didn’t blink when I told her the “set price” was for the necklace & earrings only, the bracelet was extra. (they weren’t displayed together). “That’s fine, how much for all?”
