About this design:
When I designed the necklace Metamorphosis, I was in doubt between the golden sheen obsidian and the snowflake obsidian and because I liked how the snowflake obsidian looked I decided to do another design with it. I didn’t have a nice pendant so I created some dangles from Swarovski Crystals and added them between the obsidian stones using jump rings, this replaced the pendant and the design was created!
Components:
Snowflake Obsidian, Black Obsidian, variety of Jet Swarovski Crystals, B. Diamond Swarovski Crystals, metal Jump rings and findings!Additional Images:
