Ausrine
About this design:
Ausrine is the Lithuanian goddess of dawn/sunrise, and the colors in this necklace remind me of the dawn. Boy was it a pain in the butt to string 42 inches of chips though, lol. Long enough to be doubled or worn as 1 long strand. Will be making a bracelet and earrings tomorrow.
Components:
Rose Quartz chips, Peacock Pearls, Sterling SilverAdditional Images:
