Rainbow Moonstone
About this design:
I love the large Czech glass Hibiscus flowers. I used this aqua colored one with some heishi cut Rainbow Moonstone beads and other turquoise colored beads. It has a bit of sparkle but is casual and should look nice with jeans! Just got it posted.
Components:
Rainbow Moonstone heishi beads, Czech glass Hibiscus Flower, metal tulip beads, various sizes of turquoise and cryatal beads, lobster claspAdditional Images:

Melody F says:I love the Czech flower beads, and have been collecting them, but not using them yet. Your necklace is inspiriing; it is so pretty, yet casual. You did a great job of presenting it too, with the solo photos and the photo close-up of the model in a jean jacket. Thanks for sharing.

Crystal Canary says:Oh, this is very nice! It will look great with jeans, but also for a dressy outfit too. Love the Moonstone heishis with the tiny seeds in between. It has an upscale, western vibe that I think is awesome, but since I live in the Southwest, maybe that’s just how I look at things. The flower makes a sweet focal. Love this!
