The folded pod type beads at the top, were purchased at The Bead & Button Show. They are 24k gold vermeil. I remember in detail, going to the register to pay, and the shock on my face when the little baggie of beads I was carrying was totaled up! You see, you pay per ounce for the beads of this kind and not by design like I'm used to. It was an education! Maybe I am the only one who didn't know..lol But goodness, just look at 'em...
To create the illusion of space and add a little sparkle I used some very old crystals repurposed from a 1930's necklace.
For this pair I used some lovely druzy agate for texture and a bit of softness from glass pearls.
Can you tell I'm gearing up for the holidays with the touches of gold? I will also admit that I've listened to more than a few Christmas carols already..lol
A million thank yous for stopping by and having a look today!
Talk with you soon,
Loralee xo
