Eeka Mouse says:Those ceramic beads might have been ‘the only thing you had that matched’, but they look GREAT with the chrysoprase, and give the necklace lots of character.

Chickie Nonnie T says:Very pretty Diane. It looks great exactly as you made it. Those flower beads are perfect! I have some Chrysoprase nuggets that have more brown in them, I’m looking into some brown stones to go with it.
