Double Up
About this design:
I was thrilled when LB's finally got the Rubies back in stock. Ordered several strands immediately - they sell out so quickly. Found the Pink Tourmaline and Pearl Chips at my LBS. Put this together for my sister's birthday. Ruby is her birthstone. she loves it. Even had enough left over to make myself a single strand necklace.
Components:
Rubies, Pink Tourmaline faceted rondells, Pearl ChipsAdditional Images:

Vee aka Dream Chickie says:Thanks, Bead-itudes! I got it on ebay a couple years ago from a guy who also has a shop outside of ebay. It was a very good price or I would not have bought it. Here is the site…
