About this design:
I fell in love with Jane Myrsky’s work and thanks to Gunilla I was able to get my own pendant. She hooked me up with Jane who is as nice as she is talented!!
Took me a while to come up with a design that I thought was nice enough for it. And I thought of Violet while searching for matching purple beads, had trouble finding the right color too! I put in Jane's picture of the pendant, it shows the beautiful details. This is a keeper with this unique and fabulous pendant, which is even more beautiful upclose if you can believe it! :0)
Components:
Amethyst rounds, Amethyst SW Polygon beads and copper findingsAdditional Images:

I wanted to highlight this beauty with something special without taking anything away from it, I ordered so many purple beads of all kinds but ended up using just a few!

Gemme Designs says:Yes Arja, I learned my first Finnish word here, borrowed from Jane, as you may have guessed ladies, it means seahorse!
