Crystal Canary says:What great ways to highlight the Mother of Pearl heishi beads! The turquoise etching on the red deco Czechs is a perfect match. I especially like the simplicity of the green cubes with the white. Lined up, the cubes create a great focal that is stylish with a modern edge to it. I’d love to make one for myself.
