Verga
About this design:
Verga is "sky rain"--rain that falls from clouds but doesn't reach the ground. One summer day after I purchased the smoky quartz points, I was driving at sunset. I saw the verga funnels hanging from dark clouds backlit by the gleam of the setting sun. When I got home I put together this "painting" of that scene.
Components:
Smoky Quartz points and rondelles, sterling silver spacers and clasp.Read the comments (or add your own)
