About this design:
My first multi-strand necklace.
I had those blue magnesite beads for a while. So I made 3 strands, separated them with bugle beads, added 2 Bali beads and sterling silver wire with an extender. What do you think?
Components:
Magnesite, Bali silver, sterling silver, bugle beadsAdditional Images:
