Artistic Jasper - Is!
About this design:
I love these large round artistic jasper beads! They are accented by my favorite "black" bead which is rainbow obsidian and then tiny antique gold finish rondelles. I put the chain around back to cut down the weight of the piece.
Components:
30mm artistic jasper puff coins, 17mm rainbow obsidian rounds,4mm antique gold finish (not real gold or gold filled) rondelles, Bali style leaf toggle claspAdditional Images:

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Very pretty!!! I like the artistic jasper, too.
Your choice of “black” stones is great with the jasper.
I also use chain to help take some weight off the necklace when using big stones.
