Moonstone
About this design:
If I am not mistaken, it was Martham who said that "it is hard to create a
design which makes moonstone stand out and not just fade to nothingness".
Yes, it’s really hard.
I tried to play with moonstone too and came to this design.
Components:
Moonstone, silver beads, metal beadsAdditional Images:
