Wemai Coffee Chick says:These freshwater pearls are gorgeous, and the mix with the ceramic beads are very nice! I have used some ceramic beads in my latest design, and I plan to make some more with others. I think ceramics together with stones and pearls are a success!

Nice design and choice of materials.
