Just for Fun Faceted Black Onyx
About this design:
This is different for me I've worn it a couple times and body oils and creams seem to make the lepodalite a deeper pink. It is large for me stone wise but it is sort of pretty on. I can say I like it but I'm certainly not in love with it. LOL
Components:
Faceted Black Onyx, Copper Spacers and Copper Curls on the Lepodalite. There are champagne pearls or peachy I cannot remember right now I know it worked, and a copper "S" clasp. There little round copper spacers between the black onyx.Additional Images:

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Thank you Celticcrossing.
I haven’t made too many pieces yet so I’m not quite comfortable with myself yet. I’m good at giving encouragement but who I am just like everyone else. I feel like I have been living in the locker in “Men in Black” All hail ‘k’ All hail ‘j’, about to step out for the first time. LOL

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Thanks for the nice and sweet compliments. Surprisingly this looks heavy but it is comfortable on. I like the long faceted chunks of Black Onyx.
