Yes, Teal Pearls
About this design:
I got the big teal/green pearls as a bargain and the challenge was to find the right pieces to go with them. I decided on dark green dancing pearls, green czech glass, and silver. I put this in our show as a lower cost item--price point set.
Components:
Teal pearls,small (4 mm.) dark green dancing pearls, Czech glass beads in green irridescent and blue/green, silver tone findings, hypoallergenic ear wires.Additional Images:

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Afraid so, Lynn. She knows which icons I need, and warns me not to wait too long before using stuff again so I won’t forget! LOL
Wow! does she know her non-tech mama well, or what??

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:I just tried again, and I can’t access the program I want…DUH! I will have to ask Amy..unless I wrote it down somewhere. I really like hard copy notes, as long as I don’t lose them.
