Blue-ish Purple-ish Neck-lish
About this design:
I had these indigo colored beads and they didn't go right with anything and then I found the large pearls and they seemed to want to be together. I like the way the color of the blue-ish beads are kind of rock & roll, but the pearls are very classy.
Components:
acrylic pearls, indigo transparent lucite, vintage gold spacers & rounds, faceted lucite, purple flourite, vintage taupe pearls, indigo opaque luciteRead the comments (or add your own)

Antique to Chic says:Little Round Chick: I think I like Blue-ish Purple-ish Neck-lish. My mom inspired the name. She likes to say -ish after a lot of things sometimes. And to the rest of you: Thank you!!!!!! My posts are going to be so boring because I’m saying thank you constantly, but that’s always a good thing! Thanks again!
