seashellsally says:Because I was perplexed by the color (Cherry Quartz showing orange on my end), I took a closer look.
Your design is intriguing, the swirled beads between the longer drops bring ones eye right to the drops. The way the drops fall anatomically on the neck is superb design. Anyway, really like this.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I wonder if they look orange due to the photography, as they look orange on my screen also. I have some that I also purchased from LB and they definitely are NOT orange!
