Serene Blue
About this design:
These beads said "serene" to me, and needed a quiet setting.
Components:
I have strung the beautiful Honey Tiger Eye Blue ovals separated by gold daisy spacers and 4 mm crystals, then added the soft gold leaf for a little lift. These stones have that wonderful satiny glow that moves as the stones move.Read the comments (or add your own)
