Picture Perfect

About this design:

The picture jasper and red sesame jasper combined in this design remind me of a picture perfect southwestern desert sunset. I've had the pendant set and beads in my stash for awhile just waiting for the right inspiration. The clasp from LB even resembles the final golden rays of the sun as it slips beyond the horizon.

Components:

Picture Jasper, Red Sesame Jasper, GP spacer rondells and clasp from LB

I love this. It’s stunning … in fact it’s hard to find a word to adequately describe it. All the components are so perfect together, the colors, tones and shapes. If this were a painting, I’d call it a masterpiece.
