Nafri aka Nanci says:What great designs! Love these lucite flowers. They go perfectly with the Vingaj elements. Wish they weren’t so pricey. By the time you put all the pieces together it’s hard to make any profit. Most people don’t want to pay that much for jewelry with plastic in it, even when they are this beautiful.
