Firey Donut & Chunky Carnelian
About this design:
Another necklace that was going to be a double strand but then got made into 2 separate for more versatility. Orange is not generally a color I am drawn to; however, these carnelian nuggets and fire agate donut just drew me in.

Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Fave! I LOVE oranges/reds, almost as much as greens! Fantastic job!!

Beadlady3 aka Cindy says:The contrast of the two necklaces is striking, but the color really makes it work. This would look pretty with a soft camel colored top.

This is so versatile. I love the chunky. Well ladies I am morphing. lol Didn’t like orange, liked only small jewelry when I started now….. welll….

Skittles mommy says:Thanks again for the great feedback! Like I mentioned orange it not a color I would normally have been drawn to if shopping; however, I really love this color when I am shopping for beads. go figure! ;P
Regarding the chunky – I have always loved larger necklaces/jewelry. I truly think of jewelry as an accessory – not only to your outfit, but to your mood!
