I love Amethyst and purple so I have been trying to create more jewelry with purple stones. This one is becoming a fave to wear already.

It is pretty delicate the biggest beads are the amethyst 5mm. But it closes with a magnetic clasp so at the same time its pretty strong. lol
It’s one I wear a lot.
Thanks Lynn! It’s good to be back! lol My creativity seems to come in waves these days.
