About this design:
I fell in love with these volcano cherry quartz beads as soon as I saw them! The combination of pink, brown, golden yellow and crystal are quite unique. This necklace is made from a strand of graduated rondell beads (8-20mm) and additional rondells with copper beadcaps, spacers, rondells beads. It is finished with copper chain and lobster clasp. I love it so much I might just keep it for myself!
Components:
Volcano Cherry Quartz, graduated rondells, copper beadcaps, beads, spacers, chain and lobster clasp.Additional Images:
