About this design:
My friends in the theatre department refer to us as having ADOS "Attention Deficit, Ohhhh, Shiny!" Syndrome... This piece definitely fits the bill. This is my interpretation of a piece I saw in a retail store, but mine is prettier... theirs was done in ruby rondelles (poor quality), with an option in emerald or sapphire rondelles, but they were all poor quality/color and not pretty.
Components:
Red faceted glass rondelles, large glass pearl, silver plated daisy spacers.Additional Images:

KittyMom Linda says:Love it – don’t we all have ADOS. I can just picture us stopping dead and saying “Oh, Shiny” Looks like would work great to wear to the theatre.
