Diamond Rhodacrosite
About this design:
Found this diamond shaped strand of Rhodacrosite at my local bead shop. I had purchased the stick pearls at a bead show - and the 4mm round Rose Quartz beads came from Lima. Had those on had and put this together in no time. I made it extra long. About 26". And I changed up the design - can you see how. No one I've showed it to notices - until I point it out.
Components:
Rhodochrosite, Stick Pearls, Rose Quartz, Rock Crystal, Vintage Germain Glass seed beadsAdditional Images:

Beautiful necklace and design, Bead-itudes! Love the diamond-shaped Rhodochrosite!

I have a really cool local bead shop here in Charlotte, NC. The shop owner always has something unusual.
