Components:
Shell fringed focal, Czech glass, seeds, Magnesite ?, silver chain, Zola cut out focal, assorted dangles, Crystal beads, gold chain and lobsterAdditional Images:

Granny Nancy says:Love the blue especially. I prefer the second of the 2 gold/silver (can’t tell for sure) with all the crystal dangles. Great piece – especially to wear with a black top or black dress.

dolllady aka Pam says:I love the blue necklace and the tangerine earrings. I’m still not sure about the gold one.

Stingray says:I love the gold one with purple and amber bead drops. It looks like one of those cha-cha style necklaces.

Granny Nancy says:Stingray suggests purple and amber bead drops on the gold necklace pendant. That sounds luscious.

sweetjane says:Thanks everyone for your comments…yes, the gold necklace is iffy.

Crystal Canary says:Nice pieces Jane. I like how you highlighted the woven focal with the drop extension. And the gold sun charms snuggled in the curve of the orange drops really pop. Perfect representation of the sun’s scorching rays this time of the year. We’re higher in elevation, and I can tell you, on a cloudless day, you burn in less than 10-15 mins. I might nab some of those charms too.

Little Round Chick says:Interesting collection with great components. I especially like the blue pendant. It looks like it is ready to do a hula.

JenJouterie says:It’s been 10 days since you posted this. I never paid any attention to the woven components before I saw your blue necklace, couldn’t get it out of my head. Unfortunately for my budget, , some showed up on Dollar Days. No more buying beads til August. I mean it.
