Description from Granny Nancy: And other purples in honor of the Pick of the Year Ultra Violet. I already have many of these in my stash. But I have so many designs in my mental queue that it will be time to create for fall before I get to this. :o)

tomasina says:Is this what they mean by “making a passionate statement?” Could you ever pick out ONE focal? Or one string of beads? The only thing I can think of would be to take a fine gold chain & string some of the beads on it!

Granny Nancy says:I like the idea of stringing all these – or most of them. But I’d have to add some antique gold in the mix to add to the beauty of it all. There could be many ways like using a few large focals, pendants, or beads and then use antique gold chain on either side. So many ways to go with this.

ClovisakaLois says:Wow, you really love purple! So do I, especially in natural stones. I would use creative accessories, such as a silver bail that fits through the front of the hole of either pendant, a statement bail…and some thin silver spacers. Your pick has all my favorite cuts and sizes available in the agates…yum! Aren’t the star cuts just gorgeous!

dolllady aka Pam says:Nancy, you continue to pull at my heartstrings with every purple pick you make. I love the beads in this pick and can see so many ways to use the beads. I couldn’t pick just one strand to make a necklace with one of the pendants.

67Lilacs aka Wendy says:Gorgeous and oh so royal. I love the star cuts, too. In my fantasy purple world, I would love to wear all of these at once.
