Nothing Fancy
About this design:
My sister got me a sweater for Christmas and I naturally had to made a necklace to go with it. My local bead shop was having an end of the year sale - and I found these little pressed glass rectangles that matched the lavender in the sweater perfectly.
Components:
Pressed glass rectangles, copper accents and copper DelicasAdditional Images:

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Oooo I like the simplicity of this. The beads give a nice affect to the design. Pretty color. I like your paver background, just the right color to accent the necklace and earrings.

I’m at work – just got on the site for my lunch break.
Faith and Stormy – yes I did take this outside. The pavers are on my front porch.
Thank you all for your compliments. Glad you like the piece.
