About this design:
This is another piece I made from my first LB order. I will be wearing this. It's a short necklace, not quite a choker. The Green Girl pewter botanical link rests right at the base of my throat just nicely. I'm looking forward to wearing it out on the town soon! I'll try to add a better picture soon. I have to learn how to photograph my designs better!
Components:
Larimar Blue Crazy Lace, Swarovski crystals in a murky turquoise color, Green Girl pewter botanical link, antique silver-tone bead caps, silver-tone toggle claspRead the comments (or add your own)
