About this design:

I love this focal bead, I started out thinking I was going to use two of them, along with a sterling rose, but it didn't work out that way. I ended up with 2 necklaces to work on, the other is not finished yet...

Components:

sterling and glass focal bead, blue agate rounds, faceted angel lite rondells, AB crystals, sterling spacers, bead caps, clasp and extention chain

Thanks Lynn for clearing that up … I had no idea they really meant ‘sis’! I thought they were LB Chicky Sisters all along.

Now, if we put together Deb’s and cindy’s bead collections, bet that would be a sight to see!! SLS
