Robin nursechick says:Moogie, this is beautiful. It very victorian and what is the focal? labradorite? it looks awesome with the other stones-just put your description down here-i don’t know why it doesn’t go through-mine does that too sometimes. You do awesome work!

Crystal Canary says:Janet, what an awesome set you have created! I can’t believe all the detailing in the focal–layers upon layers of beauty. I like how you rolled the brass stamping and added the crystals to the filigree piece. I must say, the blues look fantastic against the antique brass. Such a vintage, sophisticated set that has stepped forward from days long ago. Very impressive work!
