Crazy Chick Frida says:Awesome
Love the addition of chain! The piece gives me the feeling of finding pirate treassures in the ocean. The variscite looks beautiful, haven’t bought any of that.

foxhill designs vt says:Love this design, Becky!!! The combination of brass and silver is very striking. I love the look of mixed metals, but can’t seem to design with them. This piece looks like it should be draped around the neck of a beautiful mermaid.
