Cherry Blossom Hills
About this design:
I have several of the Artistic Rhodonite Pendants, each a little piece of art in pink, gray, green, and black. This one made me think of cherry blossoms, so I added the floral Lampwork beads, floral silver-plated beads and leaf-shaped Clasp.
Components:
Artistic Rhodonite, Rhodonite, Green Line Quartz, Artisan Lampwork Glass beads, Silver-plated Beads & ClaspAdditional Images:

Leslie W Mtn Chick says:This comment applies for all of the ones you have submitted lately – WoW!! You really have a gift for selecting beautiful and interesting stone focal beads. And from there, well need I say more folks? I love the way you used the lampwork glass beads with the flowers to emphasize the cherry blossom theme. I really enjoyed looking at these pieces! Thanks and have a great day!
