Blue and Brown Beauty

About this design:

I really love "grab bags" of mixed stone beads so that sometimes I don't have to choose one type of bead. I had gathered some really pretty browns, then came across these carved blue glass beads; they came together nicely for this long necklace and earrings.

Components:

Blue glass carved beads, mixed brown gemstone beads, mixed blue gemstone beads, glass gold beads and brown tortoise-look beads

This design is completely luscious! These beads bring out the best in each other to make the whole much more than the sum of its parts!!
