Did I go too Far?
About this design:
I am a fool for may things, one of which is natural looking coral stones (and turquoise, and lapis, and . . . .) I knew I wanted a coral necklace and this just kind of came together.
Components:
Coral stones and beads, turquoise rondelles and silver plated spacers and flower enhancersAdditional Images:

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:This is a very fun necklace to wear with jeans. I’d probably also throw it on with a t-neck and dark dress slacks for work! It’ll add a great spot a color to an otherwise plain outfit.
You did not go too far!
