Pink Sands Necklace
About this design:
When I first saw these African Recycled Glass Saucers, I knew I wanted to use them for a simple focal in a design. I love mixing shapes to add more interest to a simple design, and I think the saucers paired with the rice beads & rounds do just that. This pink/blue/gold color palette is one of my favorite combinations, and the druzy rounds are great for adding a bit of shimmer.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- African Recycled Glass Rose Saucer (5)
- African Brass Beads
- Navy Blue Agate Faceted Round 4mm
- Aurora Luster Druzy Round 8mm
- Lobster Clasp
- Jump Rings
