About this design:
I used to work with biwa pearls all the time. I think I might have overdosed on them! But this mosaic turquoise pendant just seemed to cry out for something playful. I am hoping that the random, organic, mishapen biwas, separated by the bright pinpoint spacers, fit the bill.
Components:
Freshwater biwa pearls, potato pearls, tiny silvery dots, mosaic turquoise pendantRead the comments (or add your own)
