Glorious Garnet Cascade

Bigger Photo

About this design:

This started with the little garnet slab. Usually like silver, but certain things just must be done up in gold! Deep dark red garnets are one of those.

Components:

Garnets of all sorts and sizes, goldfilled beads, wire and findings, accented with a few little gold keishi pearls
