About this design:
I love Artistic Jasper but decided to work out of my comfort zone with pink. the brown striations in Rhodochrosite and copper worked wonderfully with it.
I sold this piece last month. Twenty minutes after it sold another lady came by looking for it. I made her another. Almost everything in this is from LB! It is 22" in length.
Components:
Artistic Jasper pendant, Rhodochrosite flat rounds and chips, Rose Quartz, various Rhodonite beads, stampt copper filigrees, copper beads and toggle claspAdditional Images:
