Cherries Flambe'
About this design:
Cleaning through my troves I found these tigerskin quartz (old name) and see they now call them volcanic fire cherry quartz. Either way, I liked them with the bright copper.
Components:
30x40mm tigerskin quartz teardrop, bright copper flower pinch bail, 6mm volcanic fire cherry quartz rounds, 10x14mm volcanic fire cherry quarts nuggets, 13mm cherry quartz rounds, 14mm twisted cherry quartz, TierraCast antique copper toggle from Lima Beads, bright copper findings.Additional Images:
