About this design:
Onyx chips braided together to help balance out this enormous focal. The focal is one I've had for years, and tried 3 different creations with it until I saw this as I was trying to sleep one night this week... the next morning I got up and put it together - love the way it came out! The focal was listed as plum kiwi jasper - haven't seen another piece of it anywhere since.
Components:
Kiwi jasper, onyx chipsAdditional Images:
