Cinco de Mayo for Sarah
About this design:
My son's girlfriend is visiting and I wanted to make her a cute set for Cinco de Mayo. Bought the pendant at a bead show that was on a strand and just added black seed beads and primary colored wood beads. Made a pair of earrings to go with it again in the vibrant primary colors. She was very happy with it. Necklace is closed with jump ring and lobster claw in SS.
