Green leaf complete set
About this design:
So many yummy green beads here! I haven't posted anything here in a while, so I thought that I would go totally overboard with this complete set! Enjoy! And feel free to stop by my Etsy shop to take a peek at all my one of a kind jewelry... I don't post items here unless they utilize LB beads or components, so there is a lot to discover in my shop!
Components:
Czech glass (leaves and rounds), double fluted vintage brass plated steel, and 14k gold fill clasps, earwires and findingsAdditional Images:

Moogie says:Yummy is right! Love those double fluted beads & the arrangement of all the components. It’s a bright, Autumn inspired set that I would wear!
It’s nice how you pointed out how you post here when using items purchased from Lima. I think that’s a thoughtful gesture. They are kind enough to provide us with this fun forum to show off our creations. The least we, as their customers, can do is highlight their products! Most of us here are creators not shopping for finished goods. It’s nice to point out what products are from Lima so others can enjoy creating their own jewelry with them. Ok, stepping down & probably “out of it” now…

Granny Nancy says:What a gorgeous set. Its exquisite. And so perfectly designed with the leaves and the fluted beads. Back when I used to buy a lot of jewelry I would have snapped up something like this very quickly.

C Ferguson aka Annie says:Beautiful set. I really like the look those double fluted beads add to your design. I would never have bought them, but I may have to now. The mix of greens in this and the design itself is really pretty.

Crystal Canary says:The Czech beads with the variety of color work so nicely with the leaves. I also like how the long double fluted spacers you used in this design add quite a measure of interest and dimension. Nice work!
I believe the rondelles are #42618 Spring Rain–a favorite of mine.
