About this design:
I picked up this triangular cab at a gem show and now it's mine! I was going to sell it, but i think I'll keep it after all. I love the blue flash and the way it lays with a v-neck sweater.
Components:
Labradorite cab, round faceted labradorite beads, black diamond ab fire polish beads, silver plated beads and magnetic clasp.Additional Images:
