About this design:
My 1st attempt to photograph my work...sorry about the poor quality photos. I shake too much these days. Made this for my BFF's B.D. She fell in love with Amazonite a while back. I got a little carried away. The photos say 2006, but this was made in 2009.
Components:
Brazilian Amazonite & Abalone teardrop layered pendant; variagated blue Hemimorphite puffed ovals, peacock pearl rounds, white potato pearls, pale teal & A.B. Swarovski crystals, and double-faced abalone ovals. Sterling wire and findings.Additional Images:
