Caribbean Dreams Necklace
About this design:
Some of y'all may remember the pendant from several months ago. It's part of a necklace now. I really enjoy wearing it.
I kept to the informal beach-y theme by keeping the necklace assymetrical.
Components:
ss, fw pearls, bone skulls, Russian Amazonite, African Turquoise, & impression jasperAdditional Images:

Aqua Chickie Cat says:Bone skulls?
On Apr 18, 2010 at 10:02 pm #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Thank you!
Yes, Aqua Chickie Cat, there are 2 skulls. One is tiny and in the back. The other one is in front on the left as you’re looking at the necklace. I kinda like them. Plus, this ia Caribbean necklace, and it’s my little salute to Captain Jack Sparrow.
Gimme that horizon. Where’s the rum?
